Grandpa commends CMG for their support of the local family owned farm and organic produce whenever practical.

Jim Cramer believes that Chipotle is the "best restaurant growth story out there" and. that the company should discuss the growing trend towards healthy eating during this week's earnings call. Jim Cramer touts CMG as a healthy alternative to fast food.

Chipotle's healthy alternative to fast food warrants some discussion unless of course Cramer deems fat, sodium and cholesterol levels irrelevant.
