Do You Eat These? Proof You're a Food Trendster ...

Food has is trends like everything else. Even to the point where sub cultures develop. You might even say that following a certain diet (Paleo, gluten-free, vegan etc) makes you part of a food sub-culture. But unlike sub-cultures which develop and grow over time, trends can be a passing thing. Take a look in your pantry and fridge and if you can see a few of these products lingering, you can definitely count yourself a food trendster.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Same thing with cottage cheese-looks like baby spit up. I can force the food down, but I don't like it.

I would NEVER crave any of these foods. No food run here!

I love kale! If u put it in the oven it gets crunchy and makes kale chips! Super great!

#8 looks like a willy!

I just was surprisingly informed on the food trends! I'm gonna try most of these!

Chia tastes as disgusting as it looks!

Does anyone know how to make those quinoa balls

Or where to get chia

I've been cooking quinoa for a while. I eat it cold and add lots of vegetables- even left over roast vegetables for a lovely salad. This is my lunch most days. Yum!

I literally only like artisanal bread. I can't stand the textures of most of these trends...and most of the flavor profiles are sour/tart, which I cannot stomach!
