Chipotle lovers everywhere have been fussing and fretting over hints the company may have to cut the beloved green gunk from its menu due to global warming. Buried in the company’s 10-K filing from early February, under the “risks to business” heading, the company had this to say:
“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,” said Chipotle CMG .
That’s the buildup. The clincher came when Chipotle said if prices go up for crucial ingredients, it could mean an adverse hit on operation results. And then…
“Alternatively, 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.”

For the most part me too. There was a place out in West Columbia called El Chico that was good. It caught fire for the second time a long while back and it seems like its future has been in limbo ever since.

What idiot at the company thought this was a smart thing to say?
Was there a pressing need?
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” applies here.
Now they need to make this announcement:
Special announcement to our stockholders. "Due to stupid global warming comments made today, Chipotle may lose business and have to shut down."
To be "very throrough," here is another upcoming announcement: "If it snows really hard, this may affect our sales by keeping our customers at home and may also increase our costs for clearing the snow. And, it there are earthquakes, our building might be damaged, which might affect our business. And if a crazed gunman comes into one of our stores and shoots our best customers, this will cut our sales."
Blandest burrito I ever ate.
I don’t consume anything other than organic steam.

Global Warming on Free Republic
we are seeing a lot of Buy Belize commercials on TV here . They show lots of tropical footage and always a shot of some older white guy walking with a dark skinned fox in a bikini .
You should see all the negative comments in the left leaning LA Times. Not a single comment supported that restaurant or its beliefs.
Making a big deal out of commentary in their Annual Report regarding possible risk factors.
I like their food. I don’t pay extra for avocados anyway, so it doesn’t matter to me. My wife does, so it might disappoint her.
It is a very successful American business. It is popular with little advertising.
>> Must. Be. Global. Warming.
Or Chipotle...
The problem is not heat, but drought, which is more a result of California’s water management policies than anything else. However, if they were to mention this, they would be in much trouble from the state and federal governments.
LOL. And for peppers.
