On July 26th, Gainesville will be having its monthly food truck rally at High Dive, with twelve different food trucks/stands in attendance. For the past few years, food trucks have been growing in both popularity and demand, with trucks offering specialty cuisine not found anywhere else.

There are too many diet fads to keep track of nowadays. There’s the paleo diet, vegan diet, juice cleansing, raw food diet, ice cream diet, etcetera. And yes, I said ice cream diet, but I highly discourage you from looking any further into that diet.
