I don't care at all. If Chipotle want's to market to the anti-GMO crowd, I guess I'm not surprised.

They have to offer it for the plebs who will ultimately complain that there is no soda for their fatass. They also offer beer.
I usually just get a cup of water and they have little lemon slices you can put in it.

Lemon water might be ok, but can anyone confirm that their lemons are GMO free?

Well yeah, that's pretty obvious. But everyone is so afraid of the GMO boogyman, and I still haven't heard any real evidence it's bad for you. Just shit like "our food isn't food anymore", which doesn't mean anything.

This. Chipotle does a good job marketing to a more affluent crowd that wants to eat fast food but doesn't want to think of it as fast food.

I'm not a fan of the food itself, but their strategy works, which is why I bought stock in the company.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/widely-used-herbicide-linked-to-cancer/

inb4 if I can't prove RIGHT NOW, IRREFUTABLY that you're definitely 1000% not a brain in a vat, it follows that GMO is good for you and all who don't agree (as verified by polygraph tests) should be forcibly injected with polonium and then declared enemy combatants by JSOC to be eliminated immediately via drone strike

seriously as soon as anyone comes up with any reasons why it might be good to exercise a little caution about GMO, it's never ever ever ever EVER good enough. because let's face it, this is a religious debate, not a scientific debate, and pro-GMO is just a code word for "I'm going to perform free internet PR work for certain large publicly traded companies because some irrational part of my brain tells me I'm going to be rewarded for it".

Anon that's a herbicide. I suppose that yes, GMO foods are resistant to herbisides, and they increase the use of those herbisides. But hell, that article said the herbisde was given the same ratingas cell phones, so I don't think it proves much. And as agriculture progresses, it will be easier to remove these chemicals one the crops are grown.

the entire point of the GMOs you eat is to increase the plants' resistance to herbicide which, popular to baffling popular belief,doesn't decrease application. so yes they're absolutely connected.

Why does chipotle use recycled paper for their napkins and what not if they don't have recycle bins? What's the point of using recycled paper if they have no place to have it recycled?

Is it only the meat that's GMO-free?

>> No.6526173

Recycled paper can't be itself recycled into anything useful. It's already been through the process once, maybe twice. It degrades each trip through and napkins are shit tier paper.

You might buy from a local butcher... but the restaurant in question doesn't.

Back when I ate beef, I knew somewhere to get grass fed beef for ~6$ per pound. With my 20% discount it was 4.80. To my knowledge it remains this price, wasn't too long ago.
