December 2/Chicago/Business Wire -- Each generation will make a distinctive mark on how and what Americans will be eating in 10 years, according to The NPD Group. In its "A Look into The Future of Eating" report, NPD's food industry market research finds that eating patterns over the next decade will be influenced by the behaviors that occur with aging, and the differences in preferences from one generation to another.
"A Look into The Future of Eating" looks at how Generation Z, born 1990 to present; Y (Millennials), born 1976-1989; X, born 1965-1975; Younger Boomers, 1956-1964; Older Boomers, 1946-1955; and Generation Silent, 1930-945, eat today, and how as they age they will eat 10 years from now.
