Organic Fast Food: Catching On?
This signonsandiego article seems to think so:
Eating organic has usually meant going to the grocery store and doing your own cooking, or ordering at a pricey restaurant – until now. Restaurateurs, encouraged by the $14 billion Americans spend annually on organic foods, are opening cafes that serve a new kind of healthy fast food.
They go on to talk about a few such organic eateries. Which is cool – if you live someplace like San Diego. But are there any emerging chains that have spread from urban centers into the suburbs? I think if there was some kind of organic convenience-type place (think an organic Wawa), that could really give a lot of people a taste for organic foods. Which, I really believe, taste better and feel different than the crud that fast food stores usually sell.

Many of our smaller food stores have become organic grocers. They are doing excellent and no long compete with the bigger chains but have a huge customer base to rely upon:-)
