Lazy Food
Here’s one for you: we eat Fast Food (definition: food that can be prepared and served very quickly). It’s associated with the 40+ cow burger and Super Size Me. Some have heard about Slow Food (definition: movement founded by Carlo Petrini in Italy to combat fast food). It claims to preserve the cultural cuisine and the associated food plants and seeds, domestic animals, and farming within an ecoregion. But these are two opposite concepts.
So the big question is: why isn’t there a “movement” or concept in between? I want Lazy Food! Something that’s healthy and it takes exactly 2 minutes to make! Like a salad, for example. This is not original, and very few things are, but google it and you won’t find the Lazy Food website. Some guy writes about how he likes to eat, another dude gal says the lazy food is that pre-packaged crap and some other guys almost match this idea but the content fails short of rubbish.
As there are many lazy people out there, this should be a good niche! What do you think?

If you think to Lazy Food as a form of Healthy Fast Food you can include in this category some of the street food.
There are two examples of food I have encounter in my travels that is fast, healthy and quite cheap:
Istambul – Balik Ekmek – http://www.turkeytravelplanner.com/details/Food/balik_ekmek.html
Toronto – Sizzling Shrimps –

Dude (actually gal) agrees with your points, but still prepares fresh food daily, dispite time constraint. Quality and taste are superiour

That’s the idea, to make good food but not waste half-a-day while at it. It’s amazing what ingeniosity lazynes brings up in people. At least in my case :). I also updated the dude / gal thing, thanks for the comment!
