Recently giant food conglomerate, Cargill announced it had partnered with the Swiss biosynthetic pharmaceutical company, Evolva (EVE:SW), to develop a more consistent and less expensive stevia sweetener via Evolva�� microbial fermentation-based process.� This is big news for the future of stevia because a microbial fermentation-based process does not have to rely on soil conditions or weather, and stevia can be manufactured anywhere, thus having the potential of guaranteeing an endless supply line of stevia.� Through the microbial fermentation, the manufacturer has the capability to process the key sweet individual components of stevia using low-cost plant sugars, and allows for the individual components of stevia, regardless of how minute, to be developed creating blends in any volume, which then could open the door for these manufacturers to fine-tune its stevia to local tastes.� But what would be most attractive is that, because the fermentation process does not require the entire plant, the method could conceivably shave upwards of 70% off the cost of producing stevia extracts.�

Wendy�� has had a rough go of things in recent years, but after the 2011 sale of its Arby�� restaurants to a private equity group the burger chain has been able to stay focused and worry about efficiency and modest international investment.

Alamy Modesty has never been Chick-fil-A's strong suit. This is, after all, the chain that perpetually brags about inventing the chicken sandwich. Its outspoken CEO also isn't shy about letting folks know how he feels about traditional marriage or why his restaurants aren't open for business on Sundays. However, the quick-service chain is taking a surprisingly secretive approach to its efforts to improve its nutrition profile. In what Chick-fil-A is calling "stealth health," it's quietly making its food better for consumers without telling them. "If customers ask, we'll tell them," Chick-fil-A senior nutrition consultant Jodie Worrell tells Nation's Restaurant News. "But it's almost like you're forcing them to notice a change if you tell them." The chain has been working on eliminating artificial food dyes, high-fructose corn syrup, and some preservatives. It just doesn't want to shout it from the rooftops until it knows that customers can't taste the difference. "We didn't necessarily want the customer to know we've tweaked their favorite product," Worrell explains. Taking Back Sunday Most chains are quick to toot their own horns when they eliminate trans fats or add healthier kids-meal options to the menu. Burger King (BKW) has been actively marketing its new crinkle-cut Satisfries as having 40 percent less fat and 30 percent fewer calories than its larger burger rival's french fries. Chick-fil-A may eventually get to crowing about its changes, but for now, it's quietly communicating with its harshest critics. FoodBabe.com blogger Vani Hari didn't pull any punches in calling out Chick-fil-A two years ago, when she suggested it should consider changing its name to Chemical-Fil-A. The chain reached out to her, inviting her out to see the progress that the chain is doing to improve the nutritional quality of its menu. She did, naturally blogging about it earlier this month. Let's go over some of the changes that Chick-fil-A has confirmed to Hari: Chic

Richmont Mines (RIC) engages in the mining, exploration and development of mining properties, principally gold in Canada. This stock closed up 2.4% to $1.68 in Tuesday's trading session.
Tuesday's Range: $1.61-$1.68
52-Week Range: $1.31-$5.50
Tuesday's Volume: 76,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 101,786From a technical perspective, RIC bounced higher here right off its 50-day moving average of $1.59 with decent upside volume. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last month and change, with shares moving higher from its low of $1.31 to its recent high of $1.71. During that move, shares of RIC have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of RIC within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if RIC manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance at $1.71 to $1.80 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in RIC as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $1.59 or above more near-term support levels at $1.50 to $1.44 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 101,786 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then RIC will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $2.10 to $2.20. Any high-volume move above those levels will then give RIC a chance to tag its 200-day moving average at $2.48.

I should mention that competing with Subway in the sandwich business is a tall order as they have 40,229 restaurants in 102 countries and territories as of early September���making them the�largest single-brand restaurant chain and the largest restaurant operator globally. However, Potbelly Corp and its peers Cosi Inc, Panera Bread Co and Einstein Noah Restaurant Group aren�� slugging it out directly with Subway.

Margins matter. The more Ignite Restaurant Group (Nasdaq: IRG ) keeps of each buck it earns in revenue, the more money it has to invest in growth, fund new strategic plans, or (gasp!) distribute to shareholders. Healthy margins often separate pretenders from the best stocks in the market. That's why we check up on margins at least once a quarter in this series. I'm looking for the absolute numbers, so I can compare them to current and potential competitors, and any trend that may tell me how strong Ignite Restaurant Group's competitive position could be.
