The Impact of Food Trends on our Eating Habits
Are certain food trends shaping the way we eat? Let’s delve into the influence they have on our food choices.
Overdone Food Trends
1. Avocado Toast
2. Unicorn Foods
3. Matcha Everything
4. Charcoal-Infused Foods
5. Gluten-Free Everything
Do you agree with these choices? Share your thoughts and let’s start a conversation about the changing landscape of food trends!
**Overly elaborate milkshakes**
not exactly a food trend but rather a restaurant trend: the plasticy, fake flower vines covering the entire front of those instagrammable restaurants. this might just be where I live, but they’ve taken over. anyone else?
Sandwiches that are too big/tall
A fast food meal costing $$15-20 per person.
Finding 6,000 different “energy” drinks in the convenience store, but only Minute Maid lemonade, if any. I haven’t found Snapple or Nantucket Nectars for dog years.
When something becomes “cool” and 100 copycat companies make their own rendition.
Street food. But in a high-end setting and for three/four times the price. Fuck off.
Videos of people smashing and ripping apart baked goods. Yeah, it’s nice to see what the inside looks like, but not if you’re smooshing it like an overgrown toddler. Slice it open like a civilized adult.
The tiktok and instagram idiots that just throw random things into a foil pan with an obscene amount of cheese and call it cooking. Fucking stop that.
“Comment ‘recipe’ and I’ll send it straight to your dms!” Could you just put the recipe in your Instagram caption, please?
Online Google menus are pics taken from 2 years ago
“High quality” versions of poor food/street food that aren’t cheap anymore. Generations of cooks accomplished the miracle of making cast-off ingredients delicious, and some asshole has to miss the point.
Waygu. Deep fried waygu steak, waygu burger, describing something as “the waygu of turkey” waygu at Arby’s.
“Menu hacks” by people who don’t understand the meaning of the term. Like, all you did was add ranch to your bacon western cheeseburger, Tiffany.
Shrink-flation
This one is super nit picky but menus being like on a clipboard or small piece of wood or with a knife in the middle holding it in place. I just want a traditional menu lol.
Okay, this is actually the opposite…what happened to all the froyo places?! Now I can’t get any! Can we exchange mile high burgers for a froyo comeback?
Glad the overpriced cupcake fad is dead.
The charcoal-infused food trend is one I’m ready to see disappear. It looks cool but tastes off.
Deconstructing….
And don’t get me wrong, I love fine dining I just think it is lazy and unimaginative 99% of the time.
I’m ready for the trend of stacking food impossibly high to end. It’s impractical and messy.
I’m tired of the obsession with overpriced juice cleanses. They’re not as healthy as advertised.
$20 soaking wet, average-ass burgers with no sides.
$20 Street food.
Requiring you to download their app to get decent prices.
I was bitching at work about the price of food at McDonald’s and a couple of my coworkers said “It’s cheaper if you order through the app.” I don’t care. I shouldn’t have to add yet another app to my phone for every business that I choose to patronize. I’d rather just avoid going there if that’s the way it’s going to be.
FOOD TRUCKS costing the same as a brick n mortar restaurant and asking for tips while you have to sit on some hard ass curb to eat your food. Fuck that.
CAN WE PLEASE: get peanut butter in a tub similar to butter, low & wide, rather than tall & narrow. I always end up with peanut butter on my knife handle when making toast
Edit: sorry y’all I should have said margarine not butter.
Not the food per se. But tall stools instead of regular chairs. They’re bad for kids and older people. And I’m neither but I hate them too
those reels/tiktoks where they just make comically large amounts of food with no intention of eating it just for content. It’s bottom shelf entertainment and as someone who grew up poor it’s always frustrating to see people waste perfectly good food.
