That article is ridiculous. Chipotle has done more to elevate the concept of fast food than any other company in 60 years. Wouldn't you be better off eating at Chipotle every day than rotating between McDonalds, Taco Bell, KFC, Wendy's and Arby's? Let's take it point by point.
1. Does Chipotle support genetically modified organisms (GMOs)?
Scare tactic. There's no science that indicates GMOs are dangerous. None. People don't understand what GMOs are and buy into new age BS claiming they're going to turn into aliens if they eat it. Guess what. You're already eating GMOs, it doesn't do anything bad and there's nothing you can do about it.
2. Do Chipotle pigs, chickens, and cows frolic in big grassy fields?
No. Neither does anybody else's meat pets, unless you grow your own or buy from Polyface. Did anybody think that their cartoon was a documentary?
3. Are most Chipotle ingredients locally sourced?
Nope. you wouldn't want to eat a burrito in January in Minnesota made from locally sourced ingredients. Its a national chain.
4. Does Chipotle ever use animals that are given antibiotics ?
Yep. You also wouldn't want to eat meat that wasn't treated with antibiotics. You might be OK for a while, but if we completely eliminated antibiotics from the meat industry, we'd have, well, a diseased meat industry. And people would get sick. Lots of people. Then there would only be the memory of meat. Then people would wish we would add antibiotics back to meat. But it would be too late.
5. Is most Chipotle food organic?
Probly not. Also, doesn't matter. Most people don't know what organic means, and even the ones who do, don't actually eat organic food all the time. If they think they're getting organic fast food, they're wrong. They should grow their own organic food. Bonus fact: it would be locally sourced. Downside: They'd get sick of organic ramps really really quickly.
