From Vox: "How Chipotle made hundreds of people barf"

If you're not a reader of Vox you're missing out on one of the most ingenious and interesting news outlets in America today. You may or may not agree with their conclusions but how they represent their viewpoints is very clever. In the case of Chipotle and all their troubles of late this news by Vox is explained concisely, in just under 4 minutes. Enjoy the video but try not to watch right after lunch and especially if you ate at Chipotle today:

About the video: "After hearing a trickle of reports about food poisoning over recent months, millions of lunch-seeking Americans are probably wondering: Is it safe to eat at Chipotle?
     The bad news is that public health investigators haven't identified the source of the E. coli that sickened almost 60 Chipotle customers in 11 states. By the time they started testing the restaurants and the employees, they couldn't find a trace of the bacteria.
     But that may be a blessing in disguise because without a specific ingredient or supplier to blame, Chipotle has to inspect everything."
