    I recently wrote to Chipotle with my concerns after having read this article and being aware of sensationalism to obtain readers and sponsors. They are not planning to use animals that are pumped full of antibiotics, but may consider using some that have been treated with them for illnesses. Here is their reply; We appreciate your concern with regards to our meat. Although there have been talks about possibly changing our policy to allow for animals that have been treated for an illness with antibiotics to be used for the meats in our restaurant, we have not changed our protocol to allow for this and do not have plans to change our standards. While this would allow for a larger supply of beef to select from, the main concern in these discussions was for the animals. We always want animals to receive proper treatment should they become sick and wanted to allow for this within our own supply of meat. Again though, we have not changed our protocols to allow for this and are continuing to serve meats that come from animals that have never been given antibiotics. If there ever is a shortage in supply though that would cause some of our restaurants to not be able to serve our responsibly raised meat we will always have a sign posted informing guests of this as we always want our guests to be able to make informed dining decisions.
    Sincerely,
