THE SUGAR WAR
On a lighter note, 2019 is the year of the
bowl. Whether it’s a poke bowl, a ramen
bowl, a pasta bowl, a buddha bowl, a
cereal bowl or a smoothie bowl…your
consumers will be shunning the plate.
LABEL TRANSPARENCY
The pressure of the population wanting
to know what’s on their plate could well
result in strict laws aimed at genetic
modification and transparency.
you’d have to be hiding under a rock to not
notice the withdrawal of plastic bags from
our lives. Fight against waste, a green
gesture, a change in habit…why you do it
is irrelevant. The march will go on.
The fight against fat has turned into the
eradicating of sugar, with recent studies
showing that high sugar consumption
significantly increases the risk of
cancer and has a negative impact on
metabolism.
BOWLS
THE END OF THE PLASTIC
BAG REIGN
RAW
If you thought raw
might be waning, think
again. Vintage trends
are picking up, with
vegetables, meats,
starchy foods and nuts
eaten raw at the top
of the list. Blame it on
Gwyneth Paltrow, but
the raw diet priestess
still has a strong
following and, let’s face
it, she’s probably onto
something. The lack of
cooking helps to better
preserve nutrients like
proteins, carbohydrates,
lipids, minerals and
vitamins
