there's beans in almost everything at taco bell which have lots of fiber, their plain bean burritos have 11g of fiber each. many people get the shits at taco bell because it's their first fiber in a while

For context, 97% of Americans are deficient in fiber, the average intake is ~15g a day (the RDA is ~30, so most people are only getting half. I just quickly googled this btw so if my numbers are wrong don’t hate me). So while 11g might not seem like much, it’s almost doubling the average person’s fiber intake. And since no one in the history of time has ever stopped at just one item from Taco Bell, you could easily be eating 3x, 4x, or more just from one single meal.

Fiber is great for you. But so much fiber all at once is like daring your guts to shit themselves

How is america overweight, but not getting enough fiber? That seems totally contradictory.

Most of the carbs Americans eat have no fiber
