Is it just me or should someone ask Chipotle about their "Cultivating Thought, Author Series" bags? Um, Ayn Rand is an author...helllllloooo.
I wonder if Karl Marx's "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need." will make it onto one of their anti "thought" bags. Maybe when they roll out their Dictator Series Bags perhaps...
George Saunders??....hmmmm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Saun...
"......Saunders considered himself an Objectivist in his twenties but is now repulsed by the philosophy, comparing it to neoconservative thinking.[12] He is now a student of Nyingma Buddhism.[13]"

UGH!

WHO IS JOHN GALT?? (And WHERE is he too??)

    This is obscene. This Saunders fraud proclaims a desire to turn human beings into nothing but a collective of bacteria. It's both horrifying and disgusting.

    It might help to solve any population problem. We could all just sit around never moving, and eat, make ourselves obese, and die before the ripe old age of 20, maybe even less. The only problem, who would do all the work of growing the food, preparing and distributing it? And who would maintain the cellphone networks, yet alone build cellphones, or make the news. Then again it actually doesn't really matter to me I don't even own a cellphone. Dah....

      Honestly, I don't think schools even teach where food comes from. And parents don't either. It all just shows up at stores or restaurants like magic....prepared and ready to eat...
      Someone should do a documentary in schools...asking kids of all ages what they know about where the food they eat comes from...what happens to it before it gets to them... there's a lot involved in that process, they have no idea. I was always amazed by students in the lunchroom (at the school where I worked) who were scared of the bones in their piece of chicken on their plate. They didn't know chicken was an animal, once alive, with bones. And when I told them they were freaked out and didn't want it in front of them anymore... Sigh. (they think chicken nuggets fall from the sky.)

        Wow, I guess I'm astounded by your chicken bone story. When I was probably five or six, mom gave me the hatchet and I'd go out in the yard and get me a chicken or two depending on whether we had guests coming for dinner or not. It was no big thing, I took the head off, removed the feathers and gutted them myself. I was so proud to do it myself and taught some of my friends. I guess we forget that time changes so much. I used to have Roy Rogers cap pistols and a BB Lever action Rifle before my grandpa gave me my first 22 cal rifle (and I've still got it). I only wish I had kept the cap guns and BB gun. Do chicken nuggets actually contain any chicken? What else are we forgetting to teach our kids these days?

          I think it's all soy based crap these days (especially in school lunches).

          Kids don't know that hunger exists (no one wants to tell them because it might scare them...remember when we were kids and "a starving kid in china would LOVE to your supper....so eat it" routine? That's just "mean" now.

          Kids don't know where money comes from, that it has to earned and that anything else is stealing. I've had to give many many kids lessons in what stealing is...they just take what another kid has because they REALLY wanted it...no concept of 'what's his is his and what's yours is yours and it has nothing to do with you wanting something more than him."

          Here's another biggy... kids will just turn and walk away when you're speaking to them. Like a butterfly passed and that was more interesting to follow. I've had to call the same kid back repeatedly and say "I wasn't don't talking to you, look at me...look at me, now listen to what I'm saying.......do you understand....repeat back to me what I just said....do you have any questions....wait don't walk away yet, we're not finished.... (Apparently anything goes at home and this is acceptable behavior).
          They don't look you in the eye, they don't respond when you call their name, and they don't know what, "let's hussle" means...no sense of urgency EVER. Total lack of conversation skills.
          Please note that I am talking about maybe 25% of students...there's another 25% that are well raised little ones and some are whip smart too...it's ALL about parenting.

    Saunders is just another dime a dozen zoned-out drop out useless hippy.
    Wow! OMG! My spell checker does not recognize "hippy" as a modern usable word! Saunders must be more of a dinosaur that I am.
    Bottom-feeders are on crocodile diets.
    Don't look to me to knock him off, y'all.

    Ah, the dream of the masses - to be reincarnated as a cow and spend its life on a green pasture, hoping to die of old age and be devoured by scavengers or to be slaughtered by predators. Of course, if there is a TV on the pasture, it is paradise!

    I just went to Chipotle's facebook page, I was going to upload this photo, but they must have that capability blocked... There's also an ad on there if you show up in costume at chipotle on Halloween you can get a burrito for 3 bucks... proceeds go to the "cultivate foundation"... What are they cultivating exactly??
