If you believe the ad from Taco Bell, their new Fresco menu items are healthier and can help you lose weight while eating their food. However, right in the ad, the woman says something like, “This diet doesn’t work for most people, but it worked for me.” Right in plain English, we are told in the commercial that this isn’t going to work for everyone! But will everyone hear that sentence? I think many of us would like to be able to eat fast food and diet at the same time,  so since we want to hear we could lose weight on the Taco Bell Fresco menu, we miss that disclaimer. But don’t buy their talk. Some of the choices you think are healthy and low calorie are jam-packed with sodium, so they are not healthy choices.
