Food Ethics and Hypocrisy of Chipotle

Nice stop motion (and you know I hate stop motion, but this is good) on food ethics, a video commissioned by Chipotle to probably boost their image among their hipster costumers who dont realize this is just a farce (see the other video below for some though provoking perspectives).  Basically Chipotle, like any capitalistic enterprise could care less about a sustainable system that is ethical and ecologically friendly if it doesnt bring in revenue.  Watch the video with that in mind, because its fairly informative in a way that is creative and effective in conveying information in a nutshell.   Also, how to scam chiptole in an "ethical" way lol:  Here

The National Geographic is droppin' some knowledge.  I know some School of Public Health student is probably furious about this video for one reason or another, but I will say this:  it puts things into perspective and highlights the need for social justice.  The fact of the matter is, so I argue, we have a social responsibility to our fellow human being.  We should help in whatever manner we can (spoken like a deontologist)  

Here is Peter Singer's argument (argued from a consequentialist framework) for why we should donate money as a means of helping.  His original paper ("Famine, Affluence, and Morality") published in the premier applied ethics journal can be found here as well.
