Take a look at what I came across:
While the rest of the food industry is racing to appear more healthy — Subway, McDonald’s, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut have all said they would eliminate man-made additives in some of their popular food — doughnut makers have found renewed success with more decadent flavors.
Doughnut sales from quick service restaurants, like Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ Donuts, are up for the third straight year, after several years in decline, according to data from NDP CREST, a New York-based market research firm.
And this week, doughnut giant Krispy Kreme reported a 9 percent increase in earnings in its first-quarter earnings report, beating its own internal estimates. Revenue was up more than 37 percent from the first quarter a year ago.
So...... in general, people are working towards eating healthier.
And to do that..... we (the American collective) are eating more doughnuts.
Go figure.
