“As the $14 billion organic food industry gathers steam, the concept of healthy fast food is spreading. While Whole Foods is in the vanguard, others are catching up. More and more restaurants are tapping into Americans’ desire to eat quickly, and realizing that fast food can involve much healthier stuff than a Whopper and fries. Austin, never shy about its green tendencies, is also home to drive-through salad bars and a pair of tasty restaurants called Mr. Natural, which offer wholesome Mexican food and baked goods. In other cities, organic pizza and burgers — which are relatively easy to make — are becoming a staple. Some big chains are scrambling to get a share of this niche.” (10/28/06)
