Happy New Year! Have you made any health-centered resolutions this year? Perhaps you’ve decided to go organic, cut out gluten, lose some weight, or train for a triathlon. No matter what you want to modify, one thing is for sure- our busy lifestyles are making it more challenging than ever to get out of a rut and make a change.

Meeting dietary needs like vegan, organic, or gluten-free is simple enough if you cook every meal from scratch, because you know exactly what went into that meal. The problem is that, out of all the people I know, very few of them have the time or ability to do this.

We live increasingly busy lives, especially this time of year, when many of us are implementing new behaviors into our daily schedules. Most of us buy pre-made food or eat out at least a few times a week. Made-from-scratch meals, a given in nearly every American home a mere 50 years ago, are becoming something of a luxury. It requires significant time for planning, shopping, prepping, and cleaning, something many people just don’t have every day. So, they eat out.

It can be incredibly difficult to meet unique dietary needs when eating out (ask anyone who eats gluten-free). It’s hard enough at a traditional grocery store! Those who want to know precisely what went into their meal and how it was prepared used to have to do a lot of research on each individual restaurant they eat at, which can be intimidating when your dietary change is based on desire and not severe allergy. But not anymore!
