These restaurants are indeed fast and casual, but the moniker is a combination of fast food and casual encounters, of which it is neither. I find it to be a peculiar choice. Is there a better name ...

  • mirasingh This happens to me all the time because I always over-buy tomatoes. Slice and toss the moldy parts. If you have more than one, these are great for a shakshukah. You can also make a tomato jam like...
  • sugardetoxme I always do tomato sauce or gazpacho!

I'm curious for people to weigh in on this topic. Currently the government spends $80BN on SNAP and over $2BN is used to purchase sodas and related drinks.
  • DietID_TeamDietitians I've been waiting for confirmation on this stat. It's a huge amount of money and the sad part is that these soda companies are getting $2bn in revenue from the government. I see the point that...
