Challenging elitism, racism, and obesity with a grocery store may sound crazy. Here’s what happened when Whole Foods tried to do it in Detroit.

The Chipotlification of American Fast Food

Adam Chandler on Taco Bell’s new app that allows you to customize your order:

Using the app, I set up one of the staples of my normal Taco Bell regimen, which involves the Cool Ranch variety of the infamous Doritos Locos taco. But suddenly, I had options. Options I never (perhaps out of self-preservation) even dreamed of. I could add rice, a bevy of different sauces, and even potatoes to my Doritos Locos taco.

Suddenly, my eyes trained on the option to add bacon. And so I did. Next, I ordered a Cheesy Gordita Crunch, a standard in the repertoire of life expectancy stunters, but with extra lettuce and some onions added in. With one drop-down menu, decades of my Taco Bell life had changed.

Disgusting, yet interesting. There was a time not too long ago when we seemed destined to be the humans in Wall-E. Now fast food is falling out of favor and the industry is being forced to change.
