'Food for Thought' is newest addition to local food truck scene

In March, Spartan Hospitality Group at Michigan State University launched a new venture that it hoped would change the nature of fast food on the MSU campus and beyond. The venture is called the "Food for Thought" food truck. Since then, business has steadily grown.

The culinary crew has taken its wares to such venues as the Taste of East Lansing festival, and they've been able to use more local ingredients grown on the MSU campus that weren't in season when they first started. 

Current State contributor Judi Smelser gives us a closer look at food on the go -- Spartan style.
