Chipotle
Chipotle Mexican Grill was started in Denver in 1993 by Steve Ells and is known for its guacamole and burritos — its large (organic) burritos. The folks at Chipotle believe food should come packed with integrity. That means free range meats that are mostly antibiotic-free and vegetarian-fed. Not all their beans are organic yet, but the percentage is rising quickly.

I stop and grab lunch there when I'm around one. I like that they at least put some effort into where they get their ingredients from. Do I go there trying to loose weight? No. I go there for a good burrito! I can at least know I am getting healthier ingredients than McDonald's!
Check out how much sodium is in their chicken burrito. About a weeks worth of RDA.
Chicken, Onions, Peppers, two scoops of Pico de Gallo and Hot Sauce in a bowl. Lean mean and a ton of veggies with no calorie bomb
Hey idiot you don't have to eat at chipotle you aren't being forced at least respect the fact that they are doing a lot better than other fast food places. No one said organic is fat free. Organic just means that the food doesn't come from drugged up animals. If your so against a cover up fast food then go to another country because that is America for you.
>Hey idiot
Greetings to you too.

I have nothing against Chipotle. I know many people that love it. It's a free country. This is a compilation of 10 fast food establishments that are singled out as somehow being better than others by virtue of their organic or otherwise sustainable practices. However, in my mind, hurting someone with chemicals and artificial ingredients is no worse than assisting freedom-lover's.... More
This is bordering on irresponsible. How about getting organically fat? Chipotle is notorious for their calorie bombs and this is simply providing moral cover for the type of overconsumption that is at the heart of many of this site's purported ambitions to change.
At least provide a warning. This sort of implicit endorsement is misleading and out of alignment with your stated aims.

MC - I have to agree with you on this one.
For those of you who don't agree, maybe look at it this way: truly healthy consumption is an all-or-nothing process, meaning every element from ingredients to portion size must be considered. Ignoring even one aspect can bring the meal as a whole into the category of unhealthy eating.
For example: Switching to cereal for breakfast instead of donuts has the opportunity to be a healthy choice--granted that you don't eat four entire bowls.... More
Wow!
Portion control is not a new concept. Calorie counts are easy to find on the Internet or at a local library or bookstore. This post does not "border on irresponsible." I believe it is touting organic restaurants, not low fat restaurants. Your comment comes off as quite ignorant.
I actually responded to "Allie" with what might be relevant to your comment. Despite my seeming "ignorant" to you, I'm actually pretty vested in the subject matter - I'm a nutritionist. Part of civil dialogue is first demonstrating comprehension of your peer's position. To that end I don't think I completely understand your point. Reposting:

Did anyone say you had to eat the whole burrito in one sitting?
What does, "mostly antibiotic-free and vegetarian-fed" mean?
Does mostly mean 50.1% or 99%?
