I don't believe you

And if you think the worst thing about Taco Bell is that it has fiber and vegetables, then you clearly don't understand this topic. If that's not what you meant, I have no idea how anything you just said was relevant.

    You don't believe that we cook most of our own food with a focus on whole foods and vegetables or you don't believe that I'm able to eat Taco Bell without getting diarrhea?

    Don't waste your time on this conversation. He's known (at least to me) for being categorically incapable of conceding even the tiniest point in a discussion. Of course he would take issue with your description of your own diet because it directly contradicts the point he's trying to make.

    People mainly get diarrhea from food contaminated due to unsafe farming, prep, or cooking practices. Fast food restaurants may be particular prone to this due to underpaid staff and buying produce and meat from the lowest bidder.

    When a supplier is at fault, it can cause mutli-city outbreaks which attracts the attention of investigators. They have many times identified the souce of the contamination and the organism responsible.

    That better describes what is happening in this case than "fast food is bad for you."
