Glad to hear it. When you make politics the focal point of your business and market to idealistic young people who share every aspect of their lives online, then you deserve to fail. How about next time you don't isolate more than half the country with this shit? I'm tired of all these restaurants trying to bank on the fast-casual, locavore, organic, instagram, dragon dildo fad. I'm looking forward to its demise. Liberals are dumb.

>thin, completely undercooked patties
>thin
excuse me?

Now I'm not saying that's anything close to a good burger, but that bitch wouldn't know a good one if it bit her in the face.

See, burgers are all about proportion, and on that burger there's actually too much meat already. Look at McDonalds, the most successful restaurant on the planet. Their burgers don't have giant slabs of meat, they're thin, but the appeal is that they'll stack them and put cheese between each thin patty until you get a burger with proper proportions of meat/cheese/condiments.

That burger is god awful, but not because the meat patties are "thin"

I used to eat Chipolte back in college ('04-'08) and it wasn't bad. Burrito bowls and such were good and they did a lot of business. I wouldn't call it a gimmick, the place was pretty good.

There are better places to get a burrito. Hell, there are enough illegals in America that you could probably find a restaurant or two who can give you a burrito to go and it would be twice as good and a dollar or two cheaper.

The only thing going for them is that they appeal to a young "hip and cool" crowd and they have artsy paper bags with 2deep4u writing on it.

People are skeptical of fast food because of uber-liberals and scaremongers like Michael Pollan. Chipotle presented their business model ("food with integrity") as the answer. Fast food isn't perfect, but if you think about the scale in proportion to the relatively small amount of food-borne illness, they are definitely doing something right. Chipotle was cocky and abandoned safe food practices, and a lot of people wound up getting sick. Quit telling people that they should eat local and organic. We abandoned it in favor of factory farms and GMOs because it's much easier to keep the public safe that way. Liberals have become the most regressive part of society, and it's costing lives.

And by 'they', I'm referring to the juggernauts of fast food like McDonald's. These guys have been around forever and have spent millions in food research and safety. Maybe instead of labeling them as the anti-christ, Chipotle should pull their head out of their asses and seek their advice.

Oh, I understand that, then. I agree, but there's nothing wrong with organic foods and stuff that is homegrown.

My main issue is people who aren't smart enough to gauge things properly. People over-eat because bad food is cheap so they take away the bad foods instead of teaching people self/portion control.

They try to demonize fast food while accepting money from corporate sponsors.

On top of that, the public tries to shun any food processing in an attempt to live healthier forgetting that a lot of advancements to make food edible and healthy is thanks to the industry creating standards and things like pasteurization.

what's funny is that chipotle advertises themselves as the "healthy" choice that isn't subway, but their burrito is literally the size of a football and over a thousand calories

I mean it's decent, I'd definitely eat one but I probably wouldn't pay for it. I got a free coupon from a friend who worked there and got a steak burrito with everything. Was tasty, but not $9 tasty

Yeah, eating fresh, locally grown food is a nice idea, but trying to effectively manage that in a fast food chain restaurant is problematic.

Chipotle also had too few staff members working on food safety, according to one article I read.

Excess calories are bad. As in, people go to Chipotle because they're conflating the concept of a healthy lifestyle with eating healthy. You can eat a meal that's as organic and free of as many buzzwords as possible, but if you're doing nothing except eating and retaining those calories then that's no good. Unless you're active all day or bulking there's no reason for 1k calories in a single sitting.

I hate this.

The fat people at my office always say shit like this. Then they wonder why they are fat. Even if they have a decently healthy lunch, they think they can "spurge" at dinner and so they just offset any benefit they had from the reduced calorie lunch.

It's mind boggling to me.

Worst of all is "week diets" people do in my office. They'll go one week eating some small stuff just for lunch, then the next week constantly eat out.

followed by
"I was good last week so I can go out with everyone this week!"

They probably just eat by the clock combined with being used to eating large quantities of food.. A 5' 10" male that weighs 250lbs has to eat 2500 calories to maintain being that fat, with a sedentary lifestyle. So really 1000 calories for lunch isn't that big of a deal for them.

"We" adopted factory farming methods because it keeps costs down. People don't care about the quality of the meat or the conditions where it was produced if they can afford to eat steak multiple nights a week. Look at FDA and USDA food recalls. You won't see many products from organic or small farms. Factory farming doesn't keep contaminated and adulterated food off peoples' tables.

>Expecting a facebook food reviewer to be logical in their analysis

She just didn't know how to say the burger was bad without just saying "it's bad I didn't like it". So she tried to pick some kind of detail about why it was bad (too much meat + no veggies/condiments), but could only come up with "Hmm something about this tastes off, something about the meat. Oh! Burgers are always supposed to be thick and juicy! This must be too skinny or something. Yeah, I'll use that."

In fact, if the burgers weren't so damn thick, they probably would have been cooked more thoroughly.

It was just a randomly-chosen, token central point to make her review of a popular new food item seem legitimate in a desperate attempt to be relevant/famous on the internet.

I have a gimmick restaurant in my town whose "thing" is having large patties. Their regular burgers are in excess of 1lb just in the patties alone. As a result, they have to cook them until the water content is less than 1% so they can serve them.

This.

It's the fucking diet pill scams of the '90s/'00s all over again.

People just want the quick, easy fix. They just want the magic pill or "secret" diet that will make them skinny and toned and sexy like all those doctored-up people on magazine covers, whom they whole-heartedly believe are the ultimate ideal goal for everyone (without ever thinking of why marketers use those models), without having to do any actual work for it.

And now that we have the internet, now that we can see/hear/watch/buy/have anything we could possibly think of, with just a google search and a few clicks, people are lazier and more entitled than ever to the belief that they can and should be able to get anything they can imagine/want when they want it. Including a sexy/healthy body.

So now they're latching onto this idea of a "healthy, pure lifestyle through what we put in our bodies" and "toxins" and how to "cleanse the body of toxins" just by sitting around and eating less-greasy, organic, locally-grown sandwiches, without actually getting the exercise a healthy lifestyle requires, because that's "too hard" and "I'm already taking care of my body".

It's pathetic. Like, if a "good"-looking body mattered so fucking much to you, don't you think you'd actually put in some fucking effort to achieve that goal instead of swallowing a burger and crossing your fingers?
