So I drove by today and just wondered...what happened!! My son was heartbroken it wasn’t there

the signage disappeared in November. I'm missing it as well.

Unfortunately we’ll be seeing a lot more of this in the coming months. Businesses cannot survive /thrive if they’re closed.

my son and I just made taco salad for my daughter my son and I  
wish my wife could been here as she is working was a good taco salad

I think we’re going to see more of this as well, people preparing their own food at home and eating healthier. Well done Brian

is still open, just the Taco Bell brand is gone.

eat healthy out too! I make salad at home and don't enjoy it, lol If you have a sandwich out the meat is premeasured so you don't get too much. People can and do make meals that aren't healthy for them AT home, maybe because they don't have enough cash to buy the vegetables and fruit and lean cuts of meat or maybe they don't know how to cook healthy.  
 
I'm hoping that there won't be too many restaurants/businesses close because of the pandemic. They contribute to our economy and most importantly our tax base. If not for our many businesses we have in Brandon I shudder to think what our tax bill would be every year!

With careful purchasing it is very easy for anyone to prepare nutritious meals at home and fresh product is no more expensive than eating salt , sugar and fat laden foods. This is a common misconception. The problem is lack of education. Many people have forgotten or never had the opportunity to learn these skills and that is why we should be focusing more on teaching home economics in schools.

We just got from them last week. So they are fine.

So, KFC is open, but the Taco Bell part is gone. Too bad, that is really the only reason I went in there was for the Taco Bell. Chicken, I prefer Mary Browns! Used to be KFC, till I tried MB.

for the kind comment theeagle!!

Prefer Qdoba over taco bell anytime!

Los Brothers located on 1st and Louise Ave former Schnitzel House is a new place for home made Mexican Food.

have to agree to disagree farmergeorge.  
I think to buy fresh veg and fruits is expensive.  
Yes young kids going to school should be taught food safety first and then how to cook basics, something that will stay with them for a lifetime.  
I had a friend once who when she went grocery shopping was far busier checking out what people had in their cart than focusing on what she had to buy! Thankfully I'm not like her. Live and let live I say!

Fresh produce seems expensive until you compare the nutritional content, also fresh produce is more filling. Fast food, junk food , chips, crackers , highly processed product etc seem to cost less but nutritionally tend to be a poor choice and tend to make you want to consume more of them causing other issues. Also ingredients in highly processed and prepared foods often are sourced from less environmentally sensitive and less sustainable production methods.
