Eat Simple.Products are increasingly adapting the concept of “less is more”.

Production is being achieved with less ingredients allowing consumers to know what’s in their food and more importantly what’s not such as artifcial ingredients and unnatural additives.

“If they can’t pronounce it, consumers don’t want it.” -Bruce, USA Today

In effect, consumers are increasingly demanding “cleaner” food labels: labels without MSG and chemical preservatives.

Eat Fresh.Fresh food with natural ingredients are the new “functional”.

Consumers are now demanding foods with all-natural ingredients that are also produced naturally and organically. This “fresh” trend has knocked nutrient-enhanced foods off the shelves and replaced them with foods haturally enriched with vitamins and nutrients. “The trend is being dubbed ‘inherently nutritious’ or ‘functionally natural.’ The new ideal is fresh, less processed, real and authentic.” -Bruce, USA Today

Eat Organic.This new, popular trend encourages people to eat organically grown and produced foods.

“Organic” has recently become an extremely common term in the market of food.This trend has become so popular that most companies have now created organic food lines if not converting to the ideals completely.“Grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modi-fied organisms, or ionizing radiation. Animals that produce meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products do not take antibiotics or growth hormones.” -Steendhal, The Menu MomAdditionally to being a healthier, more natural option, organic food products have become even more popular become of their “eco-friendly” characteristic.

Eat Sustainable.In support of our environment, food packaging is now becoming more sustainable.

The sustainable craze across the United States has led to not only more “green” restaurants but eco-labeling on products as well as bio-degradable packaging.Large brands like Kashi Foods have introduced bio-degradeable packaging for their frozen dinners. In addition, the usage of compostable and bio-degradeable containers such as coffee cups and take-out containers are becoming more predominant in restaurants, delis, and even 24-hour corner stores.

Eat Salt Free .After becoming a health concern, foods are being manufactured with less and less sodium.

In light of the United States Department of Agriculture’s nutritional guidelines, Americans are consuming well over the amount of suggested sodium intake and in turn have seen a general increase in high blood pressure. Much of this is in effect to the high sodium concent in packaged food sold in the U.S.

Consumers have now shown a newfound concern in the sodium on nutrition labels. Additionally, manufacturers and brands have now altered their sodium usage and introduced new “reduced sodium” and “salt free” products.

A new eating trend that promotes a healthy and natural lifestyle.Eat Clean.

The new lifestyle trend of “Clean Eating” is one that encourages people to eat foods that our bodies naturally work on; ones that help us function. The guidelines include eating lean proteins, complex carbs, and healthy fats. These allowed foods would include things such as chicken, fruits, vegetables, and peanut butter.

“Eating Clean is treating your body right. It is eating the way nature intended.” -Robert Kennedy Publishing, The Eat-Clean Diet

How would you define “organic” food?

“It’s good for you and it helps the environment.” “They don’t use fertilizers and everything is fresh.”

“No preservatives, chemicals, and pesticides are used when things are being produced.” “It is less processed food; food that is not infested with pesticides and chemicals.”

“Food that is not ‘genetically modified’; it is ‘au natural’.”

Do you buy organic food?

“Yes, because it’s healthy. Trader Joe’s is my spot.”

“Only if it is already an option. I will not go out of my way to find food that is specifically organic.”

“No, I do not buy organic food.”“Some things. Organic fruits and vegetables.”

“Sometimes, fruits and vegetables mainly.”

Do you buy organic food?

“Sometimes, fruits and vegetables mainly.”

Are you aware of what is in what you’re eating? “No, I never look at the labels.”

“No, not really. I never bother reading the ingredients.”

“Yes, I always read the labels. I like being aware of the ingredients.” “To a certain extent. I always check the sodium on every label to make sure there’s not too much.”

“Bad shit, like my favorite asperatame, but i’m still going to drink diet soda.”

Have you heard of “Clean Eating”?

“No, I have no idea what that is. Is it just eating healthy?”

“No, I can’t say that I have. I have no idea.”

“Is that vegan? No wait, yes. That’s eating organic food right?”“I have heard of it, but I couldn’t tell you anything about it.”

“No, I haven’t heard of ‘Clean Eating’.”

Do you find nutrition labels are difficult to read? “No, not really, I just never feel like it.”

“A little. I just dont understand them.”

“No I don’t, but then again i’m very health conscious and I’ve done my research.” “Not really, I’d say they’re pretty basic.”

“No.”

How could labels be more “user-friendly”?

“To be honest, I just wouldn’t read the labels either way.”

“Maybe a drawing of the portion size. I’m never sure what a portion would actually look like.”

“Make the font bigger!”“List and name the ingredients in a way that people actually know what they are.”

“I already think they’re pretty ’user-friendly’. People just need to learn more about nutrition.”
