Chipotle: Food with Integrity


http://wallstcheatsheet.com/trading-markets/burritos-beat-burgers-chipotle-delivers-healthy-revenues.html
If you have not yet eaten at the restaurant Chipotle I would strongly recommended for you to go there! The food there tastes amazing and you can you feel good about eating it too! The pigs that the restaurant uses for their pork are allowed to roam free, eat a vegetarian diet, and do not consume any antibiotics. Unfortunately, since there are very few farms that raise natural beef only 85 % of the restaurant's beef is from naturally raised beef farms. However, the company is still trying to meet their goal of having 100% of their beef come from farms that raise natural beef.  Although, only 35 % of the Chipotle's dairy products come from pasture dairy animals, none of the dairy products have any artificial hormones added to them. In regards to chicken, the company's ultimate goal is to have 100% of their poultry not be fed antibiotics. In addition, Chipotle tries to have most of their produce be local, organic, and from family owned farms.
