Eco-Friendliness to be a trend in 2010?
The article I found goes along with a lot of things we've talked about in class. In this article, it talks about how "sustainable and locally grown and sourced ingredients will be the top menu trends in 2010, according to chefs polled." It seems that this could turn out to be more than fad that people might feel like it is because it appeals to what people are now looking for in many places they go to eat or when they go food shopping."Of the top 10 anticipated trends, half fell into the sustainable, eco-friendly or organic categories." was another interesting fact in this article. It seems that a lot of chefs noticed the substainable, locally grown food makes a better product, therefore it brings in more business. The article also mentions, "surveyed chefs said the top trend in restaurant kitchens next year would be the inclusion of environmentally friendly equipment and practices." which would be another step in the right direction.

Yes I agree that this is definitely more of a trend than a fad. People are really starting to realize how good it is - not only just for the environment, but also for themselves - to eat local and organic foods. It is starting to come out how terrible we have been to the environment in the past, and it is really good that people are beginning to realize that we need to do something about it now, before it becomes a huge issue. I like the fact that people are buying locally grown foods and supporting their local community because we really do need to start helping each other out.
ReplyDeleteDefinitly goes with what we've been talking about in class, you're right. I feel like I've been saying this over and over but it's good that people are recognizing our unhealthy habits and that consuming local & organic foods is not only healthier for them, but healthier for the environment as well.
ReplyDeleteI also really feel like this is a trend, not a fad. If it were a fad people wouldn't be taking it as seriously. The one thing i liked in this article was how they said that Chef's like it because food is starting to taste good. I think that people will start to understand that healthy food can taste really good, with hardly any effort.
