Have you ever ordered your weekly groceries online, or had a meal kit delivered to your door? How we shop, cook and eat is changing with the growing popularity of online grocery stores, ready-made dinners, and healthier, fresh foods. These trends are being driven in large part by millennials who are less likely to shop in traditional supermarkets and to cook at home. We’ll discuss how our food preferences and habits are changing with JOHN STANTON, professor of food marketing at Saint Joseph’s University and EVE TUROW PAUL, author of A Taste of Generation Yum.
