Film Friday: Willie Nelson? Heck yeah!

Have you entered yet to win a portion of my incredibly delicious cardamon ginger blueberry butter? Only a couple days left! It's super cool! And you know what (who) else is cool?....

Willie Nelson. The guy is a rock star. Well, actually, he's a country star - but he's pretty friggin rad. There's been a lot of "tweeting" going on about this video and to be honest, I was a little reluctant to post it here because it's actually a commercial for a particular brand of fast food. Um, ew. Right?

Concerned that it was simply a company green washing it's business practices, I googled the crap outta it. And you know what I came up with? It seems said company is actually trying to provide a healthier, more sustainable version of fast food. Baby steps, right? While I don't agree with fast food due to the inherent dangers in mass produced food that is necessary to provide uniformity across chain restaurants, these guys seem to be providing a vision for a new kind of eating on the go. 

Said company is called Chipotle's Mexican Grill - they have over 1000 locations across the United States, which again, makes me nervous because there's no way a company can achieve uniformity across geographical distances sustainably... but ya never know. It seems to me they're putting out the right message, anyhow. I wonder if their business practices follow suit?

So how does Willie Nelson fit into all this? Watch and see!

    I like how the land flips back over like a puzzle it reminds me of my ecology class and the idea of "alternative stable states"!
