My husband and I went out to eat at a Chipotle restaurant for our anniversary today, and I got to thinking about choices in food. It is better to make food at home rather than to eat out at say a McDonald's or a Burger King. But what choices do we have when we want to eat out and choose a reputable company?
I know that Chipotle is a responsible company that treats its workers well and does its best to provide responsibly raised food. In 2015, they went no-GMO. That in itself is quite an accomplishment considering how many GMOs are in our food supply. Another company that is on my list is In-N-Out Burger. I don't have data on whether or not they choose non-GMO ingredients or pasture-raised meats, but they make their food fresh on site and treat their workers well.
When it comes to drink choices, it's tricky. I am guilty of consuming Coca-Cola against my own counsel, simply because I love the taste of it, but in theory, I hold that we should only be drinking four beverages: coconut water, water, tea, and kombucha. Juices are all right, but they are high in natural sugars and good luck finding 100% juice at a restaurant. Most of the time you'll find juice-flavored beverages with minimal actual juice content.
It's not always easy to make the best choice, but it is possible. It just takes a little research to find the freshest choices that you can.
