The trend of healthy eating is upon us, however it will be a long struggle before significant progress is made. In the meantime, the best way to capitalize on the powerful force creating a stronger and healthier North America it to be in on the stocks that are providing these bountiful gains.
Have a look at Panera Bread (PNRA) which continues to provide healthy alternatives and delicious bread to consumers in a home-style yet quick delivery atmosphere. It would be an insult to call Panera fast food, even though the food comes out quickly. Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) is in the same basket as Panera, which healthy alternatives that actually taste good. One thing to note is that Chipotle also sells alcoholic drinks within the store, which may be the cause if its ultra high growth rate and high price to earnings ratio.
Finally, there's Whole Foods (WFM) which is the supermarket for healthy and organic foods. The high end positioning that the company has makes shoppers simply feel good about browsing the aisles. Of course this leads to higher pricing, which explains the expensive price people are paying for Whole Foods stock even though it's a grocery store. The healthy eating trend is strong, and some of the best ways to play it are with delicious stocks that are poised to make a healthy profit.
