CMV: I disagree with the characterization of chipolte and similar restaurants as "slop bowls"
[Background information here](https://i.imgur.com/o8gyfbj.png)
1. The food in these restaurants is typically healthy, or at least more healthy than comparable fast food
2. The food is usually made from quality, whole ingredients. Rather than preserved ingredients, emulsified ingredients, or heavily processed ingredients
3. When we look at these restaurants, we should compare them to similar fast food chains. They should not be compared to higher tier dining, nor home cooking
4. When compared to similar restaurants, we see that restaurants like chipolte or cava typically serve food of better quality, which should mean that they are not 'slop' for their category

At first glance, this feels more about execution than intent That part stands out. That’s just how it reads to me.

Without overthinking it, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s what people are responding to This could age very differently in a week.
