Chipotle climbs aboard the keto bandwagon

Just in time for all those pesky New Year’s resolutions, Chipotle has launched keto, paleo, and Whole30 bowls. The “Lifestyle Bowls” are being promoted as only available via Chipotle’s website and mobile app, but they don’t actually contain any new ingredients (the keto bowl contains romaine lettuce, carnitas, salsa, cheese, and guacamole, for example) meaning anyone who has even a surface-level understanding of their trendy diet can order them the old-fashioned way — and could have been doing so for years now. Ah, marketing!
