What Will You Eat In 2008?
new trends in eating satisfy the discriminating consumer

Consumers are getting increasingly intimate with their food, and 2008 likely will see the relationship deepen.

Here are a few trends likely to influence what you eat in '08.

Local Foods
In marketing terms, "organic" has jumped the shark. Savvy food marketers today are latching onto the latest child of the natural foods movement -- local -- and are trying to take it mainstream.

As eco-sensitivity has grown, consumers have questioned whether eating organic grapes from Chile is a particularly "green" choice. Now people want to know how far their food traveled, and the closer the better.

Hence the growth in farmers markets, community supported agriculture, restaurant menus bragging about local sourcing, and the naming of "locavore" as word of the year by The New Oxford American Dictionary.

Even mainstream grocers are jumping on, offering and advertising a growing number of locally produced goods. The question is whether "local" will lose cachet once big box retailers co-opt it as they did organic.

Food Safety
Repeated recalls of meat and produce have drawn attention to the sluggish and outdated food-safety system, and the government has faced mounting calls for an overhaul.

Expect food companies to be as nimble, touting new and increased safety measures. The issue (including demands for a streamlined and effective government agency to oversee the issue) also will get more headlines.

Stevia The New Sugar
Speaking of nutritional culprits, sugar had better watch its back. A growing variety of alternative natural sweeteners, from agave syrup to All Natural Steviva Brand Stevia Blend and Steviva Brand Stevia Powder, are crowding grocers' shelves.

Many of these products once were limited to the lower shelves of natural foods stores, but now are showing up in mainstream markets and in a growing variety of products (including soda).

A Look Ahead
What will you be eating next year? Food-world authorities name some of their picks for the food trends of '08.

Old-fashioned candy
Wild American shrimp
Muesli will become more popular than granola
Chef-run noodle bars
Barrel-aged beers
Chardonnay from Oregon
Haute frozen food
Functional waters (those with added nutrients)
Virtually anything fair trade
Ancient grains, such as amaranth, quinoa and teff
Easy-to-understand nutritional labels
And of course All Natural Steviva Brand Stevia Blend and Steviva Brand Stevia Powder

Have an excellent day.

YOUR RECIPE

Low Glycemic Sugar Free All Natural Sugar Free Holiday Wassail (A Holiday Tradition)
Serves: 16
Carbs Per Serving: 12.8 g
Prep Time:<25 minutes

Skill Level: Easy

This recipe is Great and brings me back to my Western European upbringing. Wassail is defined as a salutation or toast given in drinking someone's health or as an expression of good will at a festivity. The drink used in such toasting was commonly an ale or wine spiced with roasted apples and sugar to have with or after the Holiday dinner. It's one of our great Holiday traditions and I invite you to make it one of yours.

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups Steviva Brand Stevia Blend
A very small dash of Steviva Brand Stevia Powder
4 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
1 slice fresh ginger root
4 cups orange juice
2 cups lemon juice
8 cups apple juice
8 whole allspice berries
1 tablespoon whole cloves

DIRECTIONS:
In a large saucepan, combine sugar and water. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and add cinnamon sticks, allspice berries, cloves, and ginger. Cover and let stand in warm place for 1 hour.

Strain liquid into a large pot. Just before serving, add juices and cider and quickly bring to boil. Remove from heat and serve.

Option: Add good Brandy to taste
