This is not a debate over what to do with one specific vacant store front. Sadly, there are quite a few down here. The existence of a Chipotle may, in fact, create demand for other local business by drawing consumers.<br /><br />2. Supporting Chipotle does not make someone fat or lazy. Sure, if you only eat burritos loaded with cheese and sour cream everyday you aren't doing yourself any favors. But honestly, you could get something equally as bad, or worse, at any restaurant. It comes down to moderation. Plus, Chipotle deserves some credit for the source and quality of the ingredients they use.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-12246229703538127302012-03-13T22:07:53.262-05:002012-03-13T22:07:53.262-05:00I'll see your Chipotle and raise you an Olive ...I'll see your Chipotle and raise you an Olive Garden!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-15999956865193388972012-03-12T13:03:14.471-05:002012-03-12T13:03:14.471-05:00"People who want burrito joints are chubby.&q..."People who want burrito joints are chubby."<br /><br />You're close.

I want a burrito place and my BMI is 20. I am by no means 'chubby.'<br /><br />I find Chipotle to be a good value if you do it right. Even with Cheese and Sour Cream, A burrito without rice and double meat will give you about 50 grams of protein for only about 1100 calories. Split a burrito into lunch and dinner and you've got 500 calories per meal. Two fresh, satisfying meals for under ten bucks and you're still wayyyy under 2000 calories for your day <br /><br />Fit guy you are probably some wannabe gym grunter without a job or a personality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-29434354535831808612012-03-09T19:02:28.230-06:002012-03-09T19:02:28.230-06:00Not all burrito place items are bad.
