On-the-go diners in Paris will have another option to satiate themselves – a healthier option: organic produce.
A system designed by French and Scottish entrepreneurs have rehashed the idea of providing pre-cooked food to busy customers by replacing the burgers and chips with fresh and local produce.

According to an article in The National, Joseph Petit, who owns two such stores in Paris, runs the locations without a staff. Designed to serve a fast-paced generation, the stores carry products in metal cubby holes.
Each box contains packages containing fresh fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, carrots, spring onions or freshly laid eggs. Products will depend on availability.
The customer picks up the meal, pays at a console and can begin enjoying the assortment immediately.
In Scotland, the same business plan is being run by Peter Grewar, who says the only rule he applies when buying produce from neighbouring farmers is that the product should be Scottish and seasonal.
