It seems to me, just a few years ago bacon and pies were the big thing.
Is healtier eating a trend, or a fad taken up by a vocal few? I read about food chains like Noodles & Co. promoting the "Paleo Diet" and eliminating noodles from the menu.
But when Kraft profits frop 60% in a year, and now this:
Heinz, Kraft agree to merge, forming a new food giant - Fortune
It gets your attention. For sure, food companies are really wasteful, but are we really eating healthier? Or are there just vastly more food choices? Or are American food processesors just getting their business act together after years of over saturation? Or all of the above?
I don't want to go out and clonk a baby dinosaur over the head and cook it over a fire while wearing a boar skin. So, I don't think the fad Paleo diet or other whatever are mainstream. But when Kraft gets bought out, that should be noteworthy.
