Every year hundreds of thousands are scalded by Burrito contents containment failure. Every years millions have to take nasty shits from bad (and good) burritos. There is money to be made.

Bottom feeders like you are going to wreck the burrito industry in this nation. If nasty shits are harmful, consumers will gravitate away from the burritos responsible for them. The last thing this great nation needs is a new wave of burrito suits which will only serve to make it more difficult for the American worker to produce an American burrito to be consumed by an American eater.
