A Generation of Homebodies; Pandemicats; Along (with) the Grain; Rebirth; Predictions

Staying in—The pandemic is having lasting effects among those who were coming-of-age during lockdown. Gen Z doesn’t eat out like Gen X, or Y, but they’re all still on social media…. Somewhat related—Pandemic puppies were certainly a thing. But so are pandemicats. They can be finicky food-wise, and their owners are an evolved breed… Global Food Crisis—On August 1, the first shipment of grain left the port of Odessa, Ukraine—known as the breadbasket of the world—since late February of this year when the country was attacked. 20 million tons of grain from last year’s harvest remain in storage… Born Again—The years leading up to the pandemic hadn’t been particularly kind to sandwich brand, Subway.
