Abstract

Food brings people together in any setting. We bond over it and create some of the best memories when food is involved. However it can be difficult when people have food allergies or sensitivities, and this is more prevalent today than ever before. These people should not be deprived of enjoying food with close friends and loved ones just because there are no food options for them. What if there was a food truck that offered delicious food that is inclusive of the different types of allergies, while also providing a grab and go option for working people. Food trucks are on the rise and are spreading across the U.S., offering a low overhead cost for owners and the ability to reach more by bringing the food to them. Everyone should have the ability to enjoy good food that they feel safe eating. The focus can then shift on who you are eating with and spending time with the people closest to you.
