All of these dumb-ass liberals reject modern technology - forgetting why that technology was developed to begin with.
Fertilizers allow farmers to grow more to feed more. They use pesticides to preserve crops on the vine. Equipment running on, yes OIL, allows higher productivity from fewer people. Using preservatives allows shipping over distance which ultimately results in the use of a truck, again running on oil, to get it to the store, where there is refrigeration.
Take all that away and you are back to the pre-industrial era with pre-industrial problems like famine and pestilence.
The only reason civilization en masse gets away with the “health” craze from killing everybody is because it doesn’t dominate the market.
If the entire world went back to subsistence farming today, I bet over 90% of the population would die off. For myself, I’m quite happy not to have to work from sunup to sundown to simply feed myself and make sure I have enough for the winter.
But I guess that’s a good thing, if you value the environment more than human life.
Chipolte lost me as a customer, forever, with their tacos/burrito gay ad. There are too many alternatives out there to patronize companies that are so full of themselves, that they think that they can run offensive and disgusting ads without consequence.
But, for the most part, I have found that I now rarely have any chain restaurant food at all. With Yelp, it is so easy to find the good, family run restaurants, that have much better food, prepared from scratch, and prepared by people who care about quality and cleanliness as much as I do. The only downside with such restaurants is that most of them are closed on Sunday.
Long before Chipotle publicized its ban on Concealed Carry, I happened to wander into one for lunch.
Here was my experience:
1. A long wait in line with jostling “hipsters” that made Starbucks look like a Fundamentalist Sunday School. (Discomfort factor: 8)
2. Adolescent Counter people who mumble and mutter without separating their teeth, an affectation that indicates their “superiority” over the customer. When the customer has to strain to understand, or ask for a repetition, it immediately puts them at a disadvantage. This is actually a left-wing tactic.(Discomfort factor: 9)
3. Cold ingredients that have been sitting out all day, which is a prime environment for bacterial growth. (Discomfort factor: 8)
4. The Dining area is reminiscent of the Company Cafeteria in Orwell’s “1984”. Unfinished Cement walls, Stainless Steel tables that have not been cleared from the previous customers, Seats without backs to discourage any kind of relaxation, and a resulting noise level that is profoundly disturbing. (Discomfort factor: 9)
5. It is a “Gun-Free Zone”. (Discomfort factor: 10)
Just Sayin’
I don’t care for the Obamas at all but I always liked Chipolte. I didn’t know they closed their doors. Did they really?
Missing the point of all this, is the entire chain finally closing? Seems best course of action since they can’t seem to deliver clean, edible food without getting people sick.
Too bad you can’t take that selfie stick and beat him about the head and shoulders with it.
Sounds like Chipotle was, or is run by Food Luddites.
It won’t be long until the Luddites are also exposed for their foolish anti-GMO stance too.
But Chipotle gave everyone fair warning. After all, their name is pronounced sh1t puddle.
The MOTUS wrote this without mention of produce out of Mexico.
The CDC will blame hired help not washing their hands and blame Florida tomato growers.
Here in New Mexico there are tons of better options.
