You kid, but I recently found out that the Jack in the Box “2 tacos” are actually meatless. (I think... it was hard to get a straight answer out of the person I spoke to, but so far as I can tell they both “do not contain meat” and “are not vegetarian”)

I think they do contain meat, just really processed [1]:

Jack in the box is actually a subversive vegan activist organization.

I don't actually mind vegan food (a lot of Thai/Chinese dishes with tofu are very good), but meat substitutes are weak sauce IMHO. Don't try to make a better walkman - invent the ipod. Which in this analogy is Mapo tofu:
Beef and chicken aren’t all that vegan…
I was told on the phone something to the effect of: “the filling is a meat substitute made from wheat and milk protein. They do not contain meat, but they are also not certified as vegetarian”
“So there is no meat? So I can eat them during lent”
“Yes, you can eat them any time”

"we basically don't know what's in there"
'chicken' and mushroom Pot Noodles are vegetarian also.
