Just like with fashion, politics, & the economy, people attempt to predict the food trends for the new year.Technology, local or world events, weather, & economic factors often steer trends. For example, there was a movement towards:
- comfort foods in 2002 (after 9/11)
- & cooking at home in 2009 (in response to the recession).
In the past few years, eating organic &/or locally produced foods dominated the food media. Flexitarianism (being a part-time vegetarian) also recently gained prominence.
Curious about what's predicted for 2012? Check out Dave Zinczenko's (of "Eat This, Not That" fame) Best & Worst Food Trends of 2012 at http://health.yahoo.net/experts/eatthis/8-food-trends-2011-will-make-you-fat-or-keep-you-skinny-2012.
