Ask your kid why they think they need extra chromium in their diet.
Chromium lowers blood sugar

Chromium deficiency is quite rare. The college student is just making expensive urine.

Chipolte is beans, rice, avocado, lettuce, tomato, etc. How is this a problem?
This. You can have a pretty healthy Chipotle order. DH does, no cheese or sour cream. Or you can have an unhealthy one like me (lots of cheese and sour cream). There is a reason I rarely get it.

Yes, I was thinking along the same lines - the roots of the term "sophomore" itself capture this perfectly.
Sophos / Sophistry - loves to argue
Moros - foolish

Chipotle is pretty clean, even if it has sodium. For a young person with normal blood pressure, there isn't an issue. What is your issue with Chipotle?

Settle down. Op is jokingly venting about it on dcum instead of making it into a big deal to her kid. MANY of us can relate to having young adults who know everything while contradicting themselves. We were the same way at that age, I’m sure.
Yup. I cringe when I remember some of the things I said to my parents at this age.

Always the veiled threat about being cut off if you don’t tolerate abuse and nastiness. Oh well!
“Abuse.” ROFL. OK, Drama Queen.
DP. Abuse is the right word if a “no contact” threat is activated over a difference of opinion on the nutritional value of an energy drink. It’s manipulative, abusive behavior.

Is it difficult to drive with that stick up your rear end? How do you manage?
You should ask OP for tips on this.
No, honey, this is your problem. OP is playfully noting what it’s like to live with a strident 19-20 year old. Nothing uptight about that. Either you’ve never experienced it or you’re choosing not to remember what it was like. They’re lovely creatures but damn, they do believe they know everything and will not hesitate to tell you. It passes soon enough.
