"Gastroenterologists who X-rayed Lotito’s stomach said he was capable of consuming 2 pounds per day, according to his Guinness World Records entry."
I often read things and think about them and realize that it's so absurd I can't believe anyone tried to pass it off as true, and this is one of them.
Gastroenterologist: "Oh yeah, that stomach can consume metal, I know because..." Because what? You've been trained to identify stomachs that can digest metal using X-rays? What day of gastroenterologist school was that?
Go Google abdominal X-ray. You can't even tell where the stomach is, it's just a cloudy area.
"Oh yeah, that cloudy area there can definitely digest metal, I can tell just by looking at it. I'd say it can digest, say, a pound and a half easily. Probably two pounds. Probably not two and a half though, I can tell just by looking at it that two pounds would be too much. "
Maybe they made multiple X rays and looked at how much the iron in his body decreased

Iron toxicity from a patient that literally just took too many supplements.
You know how they say everybody has about a nail's worth of iron in their body?
It turns out that you definitely don't want a pound of it in your stomach.
Also turns out that a lot of other metals are the same kind of thing. Not gold though, it's generally not chemically active, so eat all the gold you want.
So what you’re saying is it was a gold cessna
Still better than Taco Bell
idk what you internet people are always complaining about, Taco Bell is great. It's easily the best of the lowest tier fast food joints and that's a perfectly acceptable niche to occupy.
Tacos are fine, but Taco Bell has a reputation for quickly sending people to the restroom with diarrhea.
Also, Taco Bell themselves have admitted their "meat" is only around 35% actual meat.
Want a real taco, make it yourself...
If taco bell is sending you to the bathroom it's because you're ordering beans and you're not used to beans and lots of fiber. That's not the fault of taco Bell.
Also, it's the easiest fast food option for vegetarians and vegans, and as such has (in theory at least) a much better environmental footprint than the others. Fast food ain't great, but Taco bell does not deserve the reputation it has. And while I am absolutely not assuming it's why you said it, I can't help but think the reason the whole taco bell equals poops thing is so prevalent is because of underlying racist sentiments, the same as with Chinese food and msg.
