  • A 2014 report by US non-profit Consumer Reports found that 97 per cent of 300 American chicken breasts tested contained harmful bacteria, including Salmonella, campylobacter and E.Coli.

    Around half of the chicken breasts tested also contained at least one type of bacteria that was resistant to three or more antibiotics.

    Meanwhile, if you ate a large amount of chlorinated chicken – the equivalent to 5 per cent of your body weight in one day –you could be exposed to harmful levels of the chemical compound known as chlorate,

    Yeah, I’d suggest holding out on this one. The way US farms raise chickens is deplorable and leads to the spread of disease.





  • I’ll always remember the first time I went to Chipotle. I guess it must have still been a regional thing at the time because I had never heard of it or been to one, so I wasn’t familiar with how it worked. Someone I had just started dating brought me there.

    There was a small menu on the wall in the area where you wait in line. It listed things like chicken burrito, bean burrito, etc, along with ingredients for each of those. So I thought, “Alright. Bean burrito sounds good.”

    It’s my turn to order. I asked for the bean burrito. They stare at me and I stare at them.

    “No, but what do you want on it?”

    -“All the things for the bean burrito.”

    “I need to know what you want on it.”

    -“What? Just the regular. It’s on the sign there.”

    I have returned to Chipotle only once because that same person I was dating at the time wanted to go. I didn’t want to deal with the burrito process, so I just ordered rice.

    They didn’t specify that there was cilantro in the rice back then. I’ve got that cilantro equals soap gene.

    I have never returned to a Chipotle.

    Thank you for reading my mundane story.
