    The irony can’t be lost on people that this is the same company that recently make a big deal about going “non-GMO” in an attempt to make their food appear healthier in the minds of consumers. I certainly hope all those sicked recover without lasting effects. Sometimes where you eat is more important than what you eat.

      So eating at McDonalds is safer? Lol. Tell that to all the people who have gotten sick from their food…

        Never said it was safer to eat at McDonald’s. Where did you get that idea? I never even said “McDonald’s”.

          It was just an example. I could have said any number of other fast-food-chain names like KFC or Burger King. Food poisoning happens in all food sectors, unfortunately. It really is too bad that Chipotles is having a problem because they were the only fast-food place I would visit. I guess that just means that I’ll have to always be on the ball here at home so that we don’t have to eat out on occasion.

            I think it’s still reasonably safe to eat out. I imagine, statistically speaking, you’re no less likely to get good poisoning from homemade meals (I’m not speaking about you’re cooking specifically) as you are at a fast food restaurant. We just don’t hear about food poisoning at home. I could be wrong but that’s the general impression I’ve gotten.

            I don’t necessarily avoid going out to eat because of food-poisoning risk. It’s more to avoid the ingredients in most of the restaurant’s foods, and because it’s cheaper to eat at home. I still eat conventional foods when we go to local pizza places, but that’s about once a week or two weeks. I think avoiding the lettuce for now at Chipotles would be best if I go back there soon–at least until they get their act together better. I’m guessing lettuce is the current problem, of course–it could be a different ingredient, like in the salsa.

            I make similar choices too. Eating out occasionally is fine I think, but not healthy (unless you are very selective) or economical to do regularly.
