The Rise of Veganism
Food trends are a dime a dozen, but it's hard to keep track of them all. Although we constantly hear about new ingredients, flavors and methods of eating, we can't be expected to know what's coming next. Luckily for us (and our stomachs), there are a few trends that have caught our attention recently that seem poised to stick around for the long haul. Here are some of my favorite food trends of this past year:
All plant-based.
It seems unbelievable that the food world has been dominated by meat, dairy and eggs for so long. But it has been. And now that veganism is growing as a trend (and not just a diet), we're seeing more plant-based options in all areas of our lives, from restaurants to grocery stores and even fast food chains like Subway.
Veganism isn't just about eating healthier or more sustainable foods, it's also about social justice issues like animal rights and environmentalism (which is why you'll often see phrases like "cruelty-free" or "vegetarian"). In fact, some researchers estimate that one in five Americans identify as vegetarian or vegan today.
Reducing food waste and sustainability
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that reducing food waste is one of my biggest goals. As an advocate for reducing food waste, I've been thinking about how we can help our planet and ourselves by doing so.

Food trends are a reflection of the future: they are here to stay. Trends can help you make better decisions about your diet and health by giving you an idea of what's hot right now.
Conclusion
Food trends are the future of nutrition and gastronomy. The next few years will see a shift from the traditional eating habits of our parents to more innovative and healthier choices. New ingredients and flavors are easy to find, but it is important to know what works for you when switching to new foods. It's also important not to get too carried away with all these trends because there always comes a time when we want something different than what we currently have, so keep that in mind when choosing your next meal.
