In today’s world, we are all working longer hours than before, whether that’s on our school degree or longer office hours. Our 24-hour timeframe now consists of more than 16 hours of working on your degree or job or business, 2-4 hours of travel, and 4-6 hours of sleep. With a schedule like that, who has time to think, let alone cook three meals a day, including shopping for the meal. This is why convenience foods are becoming so popular. As of 2020, Americans spend over $239 billion annually on the quick-service restaurant. Yes, at the height of the pandemic, fast food restaurants were still winning!
It takes less than 10 minutes to pull up to a drive-through window and get a complete meal to go. Talking about convenience! Over 20% of American meals are eaten in cars , a concept that didn’t exist before fast food. Most of us, when taking a lunch break, get a least 30 minutes to break such convenience is our best option. You need your food prepared fast so you can eat it quickly. I get it!
Nutrition goes out the window for most of us when it comes to convenience meals. Not because we don’t want to eat a more nourishing meal on the go but because we just don’t have those options available to us like a McDonald’s or Chick-fil-a. Right now, McDonald’s is the largest fast-food restaurant that has locations worldwide. Therefore, when we are traveling or working long hours, we are unsuccessful in making healthier choices because of the lack of healthy convenience options available on the go.
Now imagine a world where you are able to get that quick service along with a great price point, great taste, and it’s better for your body! Which option would you choose?
VegBox allows you to get the same convenience as Chick-fil-a with the added benefits of eating healthy meals. Yes, it is possible to have a healthy, convenient food joint.
So just know you no longer have to sacrifice your diet for convenience. The convenient food space is changing, and you will not have to wait too much longer.
Talk to you soon!
