Every single time you go out to eat, you are voting with your dollars. Either you are supporting fresh foods and healthy options or you aren't! It's really just that simple. Whenever I eat at Chipotle I know I am doing a good thing. The options for meat-eaters are cooked healthfully and each item on the menu can be "veganized".
My favorite thing to eat at Chippy is the burrito bowl. I want it piled high to the sky! I like it with brown rice, black beans, fajitas, sofritas (seasoned tofu), hot and mild salsa, corn, guacamole (yes, there is an extra charge for guac...don't get me started with that *rolls eyes*) and shredded lettuce on top. Yummy!

Did you know that the Sofritas are Oakland made? The tofu used at Chipotle comes from Hodo Soy. They are a tofu manufacturing company right here in West Oakland. Fun Fact: I used to live two blocks from the company headquarters AND it is the best tofu that I've ever tasted. I know you're probably thinking "Uhhh, I thought tofu was tasteless!?" It is, but consistency matters and Hodo Soy recognizes that. Additionally, their flavored products are absolutely delicious. If you want Hodo Soy products, you can find them at Safeway (bay area residents only...for now)!
I can wholeheartedly stan for their products because I recently had the opportunity to tour their headquarters/plant and meet Minh Tsai, creator and owner of Hodo Soy. Not only are they extremely clean, the staff seems happy (even the staff working with the machinery). I feel better knowing that the people preparing my food have a good disposition. I also feel better knowing that the tofu of my choice is locally created and the company is providing jobs to bay area residents. Food is more than what lands on your plate; it's a business. Let's keep it clean, ethical and cruelty-free.
