Food With Integrity

The last couple of weeks have been crazy busy. With both of us working long and odd hours it's hard to sit down to a meal together. We don't like to go out to eat, but when life gets hectic, sometimes it's the only option. There really aren't that many options for restaurants that serve healthy, organic, locally grown foods, especially in Syracuse. When we do have to go out we try and eat at local restaurants--at least that way we're supporting the locally owned businesses, even if the food isn't local.

Last Saturday we were trying to figure out a fast food place we could go to that would be a better choice along our journey for the Life More Abundant and we were stumped. We were driving down Erie Blvd when a light bulb went off--doesn't Chipotle serve sustainably raised food?!!? Our choice then became obvious--whenever we have to grab something really quick--in the fast food genre--we'll try go with Chipotle. They serve Food With Integrity. What that means is that they are conscious of where the food they serve comes from and as a company they only use ingredients that are raised with respect to animals and the environment.

Of course we won't eat there often--given that a chicken burrito has almost 900 calories--but if and when we do have to grab food on the go at least we can feel better about our choice.
