Just years ago, a fast food restaurant would only serve meals that were too fat and drinks that were too sugary. Not anymore. New fast food chains have popped up, serving fresh veggies and healthy snacks. Using local food and sustainably-sourced meat, these restaurants attract a growing group of people interested in quick service and quality. Chains like Chipotle and Tender Greens now report impressive profit figures in their latest financial reports. It’s enough to make you go hungry.
