Chipotle, Inc., is warning it might stop serving guacamole at its restaurants if global warming climate change gets much worse. Think Progress reported:
Its your choice, America. Fix the climate, or the guac gets it.
Chipotle Inc. is warning investors that extreme weather events associated with global climate change might eventually affect the availability of some of its ingredients. If availability is limited, prices will rise and Chipotle isnt sure its willing to pay.
Increasing weather volatility or other long-term changes in global weather patterns, including any changes associated with global climate change, could have a significant impact on the price or availability of some of our ingredients, the popular chain, whose Sofritas vegan tofu dish recently went national, said in its annual report released last month. In the event of cost increases with respect to one or more of our raw ingredients we may choose to temporarily suspend serving menu items, such as guacamole or one or more of our salsas, rather than paying the increased cost for the ingredients.
Chipotle did say that it recognizes the pain it (and its devotees) would have to go through if it decided to suspend a menu item. Any such changes to our available menu may negatively impact our restaurant traffic and comparable restaurant sales, and could also have an adverse impact on our brand, the filing read.
According to the latest RSS satellite record there has been no global warming in 17 years.
Well the food they actually sell in Mexico is not what they sell here and call “Mexican food”.
Did have some amazing shrimp in Mazatlan. Got to the restaurant, we and the wife order drinks and a meal, drinks come first.
She’s drinking a Daquerie, me I got a scotch w a beer back.
They bring out the dinner and I’m thinking “This ain’t gonna go over at all...” cause all the shrimp still have heads and legs.
She was real squeamish. But she takes a couple more hits off her drink and tries one.
YUMMMM!!!! she says and next thing I know there are shrimp legs flyin through the air shes like a shrimp rototiller!
But the rice and beans rice and beans rice and beans rice and beans then more rice and beans that gets a bit old.
Before this announcement, I might have unknowingly spent my time and money in a Chipotle, Inc. restaurant and thus supported their delusional political insanity.
But now that I know, I won't. That's a true public service announcement!
In Europe, they also serve shrimp, prawn, etc. with the heads on. You get used to it.
I always remember a friend of mine - a German immigrant - referring to Mexican fair as dogfood.
I ate at one this past week. Serving size has gone from what used to me keeping half for a second meal as a snack for later to eating the entire burrito at one sitting.
The price for a tablespoon of guacamole is $1.80 now. Over $7.00 for one burrito now. No way I’ll ever stand in line for lunch at that place again.
If I want to pretend I'm in the 3rd world I go to MX.
I suggest they shut down the entire business if they want to save the planet.
