Next up, is arguably the most respected remale high-fly act in mainstream wrestling, Amy Dumas, better known by her stage name, Lita. When Lita was in the ring, there wasn't anything too daring enough for her to do. Suicide Dive through the ropes and risk hitting the ramp? She didn't care. Diving Twist of Fate off the ropes? Didn't matter to her. Her patented Litasault back flip finisher off of the top turnbuckle was just another night for the woman who helped define one of the greatest eras in wrestling known as the Attitude Era of the WWF/WWE.
Prior to becoming a world-renowned act in the WWE, Dumas got her professional wrestling career started under the moniker Angelica in the Consejo Mundial Lucha Libre (CMLL) organization in 1998. The following year, Lita took her talents to the states in the independent circuit. In 1999, Lita made her way to the Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) where she began to pick up steam for her amazing aerial combat maneuvers. The following year, Lita would enter the WWF/WWE where she would become a 4x WWE Women's Champion and eventually be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame (2014). Throughout the years, she's made sporadic returns to the ring, but she's focused on her music career as the head of her own punk band called The Luchagors.

Now more than ever, more people have been adopting a vegan lifestyle.

People are now wanting to cut down on meat, and the food industry is giving in to the demand. Even wineries have started stocking up on vegan wines.
Due to increased awareness and desire to help the environment, companies have become more committed to eco-friendly food packaging. Previously, companies didnt care much about producing a ton of waste; but now, efforts to reuse, reduce, and recycle are much more apparent. For instance, PepsiCo has committed to creating completely recyclable packaging by the year 2025.
Who would have thought that young millennials would be into rum? These barrel-aged, small-batch rums are the latest trend in booze, and now even British companies such as Essexs English Spirit are joining in. The spirit is one of the most popular and versatile forms of alcohol, whether it be sweet or strong, dark or white, neat with ice or served with coke.
Nowadays, people have become more accepting of imperfection; when it comes to fresh produce that is. Imperfect Produce is just one of the grocery delivery companies that serve physically flawed fruits and vegetables. This effort is geared toward reducing waste, and the disfigured foods are often turned into hummus, crisps, and juices.
Various Asian restaurants have been popping up recently, and Sri Lankan cuisine is slowly making its way to the western palate.
