Radio Report: Washington area workers can find healthy and sustainable downtown dining options today

AUDIO SCRIPT

Finding healthy dining options on the go in the Washington Metropolitan Area had not always been easy, as graphic designer Amy Ver Hague, who commutes every weekday to downtown DC from Vienna, Virginia, has found in the past.

Now, however, the DC dining scene has changed for busy commuters such as Amy.

Today, a wide range of soup-and-salad-style luncheon venues and restaurants serving up locally or sustainably sourced meals provide more healthy - and ethical - dining options for hard-working Washingtonians.

Among them are all-vegan, local businesses such as Soupergirl, a soup pick-up and delivery service in Takoma Park, and other farm-to-fork restaurants like Founding Farmers.

But what about how this stuff tastes?

Pretty good actually - as the survival of these thriving businesses easily attests.
