Meat’s Been Going Through Changes; You Don’t Eat it, You Wear it; National Cookie Day; McWonka’s

The Great Migration— Research delivered by The Kroeger Co. x Plant Based Foods Institute (on customer spending and attitudes toward plant based products) has shown that those loyal to the lifestyle reflect it in their spending, (sounds like a no-brainer). Motivation? Perceived health benefits. The biggest issue for those falling off? $$. The number two reason? Texture. On That Note— What do you do—when you want to do what’s right for the planet and humane for living creatures… but you also don’t want mushroom dressed like chicken? Say hello to Upside Foods. We’ve made it to the future, people. Très Chick— There are a bunch of reasons someone might rock chain-restaurant branded gear. It could be great fries or a signature drink; maybe a fun mascot. It could even be the breadsticks. Regardless of reason, Chick-fil-A just jumped in the qsr w/merch-store pool, with their first line that includes items like hoodies, pillow sets, socks, and coffee mugs.  Finally— Me want cookie. Ok, One More— Road-trip gold.
