Survey reveals food dialogue gains momentum & media the driving factor
Americans are hungry for more information about their food, and the media are standing by with the spoon. In the last year, significant numbers of Americans have changed their minds or behaviors around food and nutrition issues, and the media are a top driver of those changes, according to the International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation’s 2016 Food and Health Survey, “Food Decision 2016: The Impact of a Growing National Food Dialogue.”
“2016 is a big decision-making year for Americans,” says IFIC Foundation President Kimberly Reed. “Not only do we have an upcoming presidential election involving more conversations with new voters, emerging technologies and changing demographics, we also see more factors influencing Americans’ food decisions.
