People are trying to develop more healthy fast food restaurants. An example is Native Foods Cafe, which has been serving quick-service vegan food for over 20 years. This cafe avoids added chemicals with their vegan comfort foods. Smoked paprika is a popular ingredient to up the flavor. Protein is received mostly through grains and beans.
