Hello bloggers. Hope everyone had a good weekend. I'm sure most Pius people won't see this til tomorrow (Who doesn't love procrastinating?), but there might be some national and even international readers out there, and if so, welcome to you!
The first article is an interview with a woman who owns a restaurant. The twist: it's an organic, healthy, fast food restaurant. Yes, i just said organic and fast food in the same sentence. Healthy in a Hurry Organic Cuisine to Go is proving that it can be done, successfully, true to organic, local-grown standards, and most importantly, tastily! The owner, Sue Caldwell, says her goal is "To create a connection between the land, the food and the people who prepare it and eat it." Animal, Vegetable, Miracle anyone?
The second article highlights a very interesting statistic that disproves a common stereotype. People ARE willing to pay extra to eat organic. The sale of natural and organic products has increased during our current recession. Whole Foods has even expanded. While people have cut back in other areas of life, buying organic has been (thankfully) an area they've deemed to important to cut.
These two articles show that there is hope for America yet!

Yes!!! I can have my hamburger and eat it too! To be honest ever since we started this project I have been very suspicious of most hamburgers. However, after reading the first article I am assured that this great fast food out there!
