Quick Bit: Fast Food culture shift?

Fast food company profit's are going down while Chipotle, a restaurant chain that focuses on fresh healthy food, is experiencing large growth in profits according to to Buzzfeed.

Many chains are making an effort to diversify their menus with fresher, healthier food. They cite a shift in demands of millennial tastes. Even Pizza Hut is adding new healthy options and 250 calorie pizzas.

With the risks of heart disease increasing with increased intake of healthy food, it's great to see fast food companies offering healthier options. It's even greater to see a culture shift in how Americans consumer food. Hopefully we can keep this up over the long run and see net reductions in heart disease risk.

I think the exciting thing is that there's a shift in how we see food, and a demand for healthier food is a great thing.
