Chipotle May Stop Serving Guacamole Because of Climate Change
It’s your choice, America. Fix the climate, or the guac gets it.
Chipotle Inc. is warning investors that extreme weather events “associated with global climate change” might eventually affect the availability of some of its ingredients. If availability is limited, prices will rise — and Chipotle isn’t sure it’s willing to pay.
“Increasing weather volatility or other long-term changes in global weather patterns, including any changes associated with global climate change, could have a significant impact on the price or availability of some of our ingredients,” the popular chain, whose Sofritas vegan tofu dish recently went national, said in its annual report released last month. “In the event of cost increases with respect to one or more of our raw ingredients we may choose to temporarily suspend serving menu items, such as guacamole or one or more of our salsas, rather than paying the increased cost for the ingredients.”

I totally care about Chipotle not serving guacamole because of climate changes when there are way better alternatives that are always there for everyone. The idea of the climate directly relating to the availability of the guacamole AND preventing them from coming up with a strategy to keep serving it (because the demand for the product is in the negatives), is definitely not stupid at all. /sarcasm Side: Stoooopid
