McDonald's subsidiary restaurant chain, Chipotle is beginning to resist

the ways of its parent corporation. Although most of the restaurant's
patrons don't realize it, the chain now quietly refuses to use factory
farmed meats, sourcing its pork and chicken from free range and family
farmed operations. "A majority of customers don't even know we do this.

We think this is a better way to go, and as people become more aware of

where their food comes from they will care," says Chipotle president,
Steve Ells. Hopefully, Steve can clue in his parent CEO at McDonald's
on 
some of the finer points of animal welfare.
