A Taco Bell finally opened up where I live, and we are going to go try it tonight. What should I try and what should I avoid?

Of course I know I should try another restaurant and avoid Taco Bell, that's too obvious, but what is life without a little Adventure.

Silicon dioxide is a common anti-caking agent. It's used in many foods and is generally harmless when ingested. Inhaling it can be a problem, but that's more of a concern on the production end, not for the consumer.

No, I know that many chemicals have multiple uses, just like propylene glycol can be used as an antifreeze but also works as a sweetener in food.

I honestly cannot find the article that I read but I did read at one point that there was too much silicon dioxide in taco bells meat at one point and they had to reign it back.
