As many Americans begin signing up for gym memberships, joining dating apps, or more adequately monitoring their budgets, Chipotle Mexican Grill is looking to capitalize on New Year's resolutions while 2019 still remains new.

The restaurant announced a launch of "Lifestyle Bowls" targeted toward the most common diet changes undertaken with the start of a new year. The bowls are available for online ordering only and include meals geared toward Paleo, Keto, Whole30, and increased protein diets.


Chipotle's chief marketing officer Chris Brandt said of the change:

"Now more than ever, Americans are embracing new and varied approaches to healthy living and wellness. We've watched guests custom create lifestyle-specific bowls when ordering in our restaurants, so it made sense to offer delicious options via our online channels that help people easily order bowls with real ingredients that fit their wellness goals."

However, some remain skeptical, especially after an onslaught of food related illnesses the chain grappled with in 2018.

However, not all reactions were negative.

Some thought it represented a positive change that fall in line with the goals shared by many Americans at the start of the year.

While the support remains strong, many still have questions which Chipotle is scrambling to answer.

It's unclear at this time whether the lifestyle bowls will be ongoing or if—like 80 percent of New Year's resolutions—they'll only be around before the end of February.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
