In this week’s series of “I didn’t know that was a real holiday,” the past three days have given us national red velvet cake day, national pepperoni pizza day and butterscotch pudding day. Who knew!?
If you’re a foodie like me then you’ll be buzzing to hear all about how startups have been changing the food and beverage game. For starters (pun intended), the rise of the ‘conscious consumer’ has given new businesses incentive to think outside the box when it comes to how they operate. This includes focusing on cruelty-free, environmentally friendly and healthy options.
