CINCINNATI -- Fans of Chipotle may soon have to say goodbye to their beloved guacamole, the company said in its latest annual report.

The Mexican fast food chain announced in recent Securities and Exchange Commission filings it could temporarily suspend sales of guacamole and some salsas due to an increase in food costs.

Those increases are being caused by global warming, the Denver-based chain said.

What? The more sun you have, the better the Avocados and Tomatoes like it. I guess when you are a “Mexican Restaurant Chain” headquartered in Colorado, it’s like the Picante Sauce that’s “made in Neew York Citeee.”

I think this is a great idea. Soon only right wing businesses will still be out there operating.

Lets see:

Apple
Chipoltle

Its a better excuse, and PR, than telling the sheeple the simple truth that it will cost them 50% more due to lack of supply of avocados

Doesn’t guacamole cause a greenhouse gas after being consumed?

It makes sense that they would discontinue it.

Chipotle is citing a survey from thinkprogress.org which pretty much tells us where all their campaign contributions go. I will spend my money elsewhere.

Al Gore tried to warn us that this was coming.

If only we all bought those carbon credits like he did we wouldn’t be in this situation today.

Hug a tree today!

That’s ridiculous. Guacamole is made primarily from avocados, which flourish in warm climates such as Southern California.

Repeat after me: there is no climate change. Secondly, why go to a food chain named after a smoked pepper? Yes the world is upside down, and wait until the poles change, then we are really screwed.

Here’s their nutrition info. I didn’t see MSG.

I tried Chipotle once or twice, but wasn’t a fan because cilantro is in all the rice. Cilantro tastes soapy to me and there’s no way to get rice there without cilantro.
