holy sodium!

I like eating food at chipotle sometimes. However, I was (somewhat) horrified to learn of a site called "chipotle fan" where one can look up the nutrition facts for his/her favorite chipotle meal.

Below are the results for my favorite chipotle burrito including the wrap, rice & black beans, chicken, corn & green tomatillo salsa, cheese & sour cream. And, err..on occasion, we'll share chips & guacamole, a significant addition to fat & calories. Man.

Looks like we could all save some time by just sitting down to a nice bowl of lard.

isn't chipotle spanish for "mc donald's?"

no surprise on the lack o' health.

scary. and americans wonder why they are fat and have heart disease. it's not always easy to find food facts, though most chains' web sites do oblige.
