06/15/2005: McTofu???
Since Brock is a vegetarian and always looking for good substitutes for meatless cuisine, it appears the Fast Food Industry has begun to come round to the vegetarian/healthy way of thinking: What's next for fast food? McTofu?: As established chains slowly change ways, a new player hopes to spark a revolution by Andrew Martin (Chicago Tribune national correspondent):”THE LATEST FAST-FOOD TREND isn't about secret sauces, it's about promoting freshness, quality ingredients and healthful eating. Among the claims:
O'NATURALS
Locations: 4
Opened: 2001
Ingredients do not contain additives or preservatives. The chain also uses organically raised or grown ingredients in many of its items.
CHIPOTLE
Locations: 450
Opened: 1993
Uses mostly animals raised outdoors without hormones or antibiotics.
McDONALD'S
Locations: More than 30,000
Opened: 1955
Offers a fruit and walnut salad.
BURGER KING
Locations: More than 11,000
Opened: 1954
Has added Morningstar Farms garden veggie burgers to the menu.”
And I thought I recalled Len saying he'd enjoyed Chipotle when he visited Chicago - so you were eating "healthy" and probably didn't even realize it!!
