Quite a few people have asked how to let them know they will eat elsewhere... http://www.chipotle.com/html/speak.aspx Storm I seldom do this, but there are other restaurants after you email Chipotle's and tell them "no more" Stormy Chipotle announces support of HSUS http://www.ocj.com/article/910/chipotle-announces-support-of-hsus.html http://tinyurl.com/2epe8hx Chipotle announces support of HSUS Posted on May 11th, 2010 Down the Dusty Lane By Kyle Sharp OK, survey time ... how many of you like eating at Chipotle? I?ll admit, I enjoy the occasional Chipotle burrito myself, although I often somehow felt dirty after eating one. Why? Because of the information Chipotle distributes on their Web site and in their restaurants about how they source the meat they use. I have no problem with them using all naturally raised pork and chicken, and 50% naturally raised beef, if that is what they choose to do. It?s their habit of slandering conventional American agriculture in the process that doesn?t sit so well. On the Chipotle Web site, the company touts the idea of making "Food With Integrity.? The site states: "Food With Integrity is a philosophy solidly based on a foundation of not exploiting animals, the environment or people.? The not-so-hidden message there is that most U.S. farmers, those that produce more than 95% of the meat and animal products produced in this country, apparently do exploit animals, the environment and people.... (snip) ...But here is the final straw. Just two days before writing this column, I got an e-mail saying Chipotle was endorsing the Ohio efforts of HSUS to hijack the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board and obliterate Ohio agriculture via the overly restrictive, non-scientific initiative they are hoping to put on the November ballot. I had to see for myself, so I went to the effort?s Web site, www.ohiohumane.com, and sure enough. There, listed under business endorsements is Chipotle and their more than 100 locations in Ohio....
