Food has always been a popular business, with an ever growing demand. The types of food that people want to consume may change, but they will always eat.
In recent years, a number of trends have emerged in the food business. As demand for fast, unique food at reasonable prices increased, mobile food trucks exploded in the scene especially in urban areas. There is also an uptick in demand for locally-sourced food items such as meat, seafood and produce.
Demand for healthy food is also on the rise, and many restaurants now feature vegetarian items in their menus. Gluten-free food items continue to experience strong demand. More and more parents are fighting childhood obesity by giving their kids healthier food choices.
