Thanks for those posts guys. "CBC " and "Vic", those are both great reads.
The American public is one of the most uniformed people on this planet. Unfortunately the most gullible too.
Hear are a few comments on "Scarecrow" which gives me some renewed hope;
What a wacky and unrealistic video. I wish companies like Chipotle would interview some real-life farmers who care about the animals they raise, who care about food safety, and care about their customers. This video only tried to scare people about their food, which in this country is so abundant, so safe, so inexpensive, and so available that it is too easy to take for granted.

While it is certainly a beautiful piece that expresses what many farmers feel but Chipolte as company doesn't seem to be sincere. A few years ago when I was producing grass-fed beef Chipolte somehow obtained my information and approached be about selling them beef. To my dismay they wanted to pay substantially less than even the dismal price offered by the conventional beef processors. Likewise with their history of problems with hiring illegal aliens. There is a very clear disconnnect between what they say and what they actually do as a company.

The level of sheer hypocrisy and irony in an establishment, such as Chipotle, creating an advertisement like this is absolutely ridiculous. Although, it's only helping the cause I stand for, so, that's one good thing about this. Other than that, it bothers me that Chipotle seems to be targeting people's emotions, and, by applying their name to this short film, subliminally convincing people that buying from them would help to end these terrible occurrences, as if they aren't a large contributor to it themselves. If they truly care about any of this, then, an advertisement isn't going to be enough. If they truly care, they would stop contributing to what, according to this advertisement, they seem to be against.
