Chipotle
pulling guacamole due to climate change? Have no fear

Chipotle stirred up the media and guacamole lovers with news
that it could "suspend" guacamole from its menu due to global
warming.
But a restaurant spokesman tells the Los Angeles Times:
"This is way overblown."
The annual report from the restaurant chain warned:
"Increasing weather volatility or other long-term
changes in global weather patterns, including any changes associated with
global climate change, could have a significant impact on the price or
availability of some of our ingredients. ...
"In the event of cost increases with respect to one or
more of our raw ingredients, we may choose to temporarily suspend serving menu
items, such as guacamole or one or more of our salsas, rather than paying the
increased cost for the ingredients."
Chipotle's Chris Arnold told the L.A. Times on Wednesday
morning that the disclosure was routine: "As a public company ... we are
required to disclose any potential issues that could have potential impact on
our business, and we do that very thoroughly."
So far, Chipotle is handling weather-related problems with
ingredients just fine.
As NPR points out,
avocados seem to be in plentiful supply despite vagaries of climate change that
resulte in "lemon-sized" Hass
avocados.
"The sky is not falling," Arnold said. "We
have guac in all of our restaurants."
Good to know. Now, here are 10 great avocado recipes
from the Times Test Kitchen.
