Chipotle's Food Nightmares Are Back

Chipotle was a pop culture phenomenon.

Everyone liked it, and it appealed to the new generation, because it was like fast food that made you feel healthy while you were eating it. It was doing great in the stock market, hitting $700, increasing its franchises, making improvements, and pleasing society with its non-GMO ingredients and no preservatives.

However, the E. coli outbreak came around. Many people got sick, in many different states, which lead to public outrage and shaming of Chipotle and giving it a very bad reputation. Their stock dropped more than 50-60% all the way to 300, even a bit lower, from $700. People stopped going to Chipotle for a while, all because of this food incident. And there have been a couple of other food scares since then.

But, new Chipotle Brian Niccol has been working to put that in the past, creating better lines, more robust online services such as ordering, and limited time Chipotle deals such as free guacamole on certain days. free deliveries with Doordash, and buy one get one free deals for people such as teachers and nurses on some days.

And for a second, the mass majority of people forgot about all the food safety issues of the past.

Even their stock brought its way to 470, and has been a Wall Street favorite. Until this week. On the site, iwaspoisined.com, users reported getting sick at a Chipotle restaurant in Powell, Ohio, and there were hundreds of reports, which got Chipotle so freaked that they closed that location for the day.

But news got out, and the stock fell 7% in one day, and recieved even more bad PR. So, if Chipotle doesn't go through a revolution, any kind of revolution, it may slip into the back of people's minds.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
