Some would argue that the formal sit down meal has been replaced as this collection of on-the-go foods would suggest, but the reality is that the edibles market is expanding in new and innovative ways to satisfy any number of different consumer schedules and habits.
Convenience reigns supreme when it comes to almost anything and when it comes to eating we're seeing a distinct rise in the number of ways that consumers are eating while on the commute going from point A to B or anywhere in between. On-the-go foods might not be new, but the ways they're expanding to include options for all tastes and budgets is making waves in the market. Purchasable in-store or at the supermarket for quick preparation within the home, these on-the-go foods will likely change your perception of where you can eat a meal (answer: anywhere).
