What new food trends are in store for 2008? According to the experts, consumers are looking for more locally grown foods that support a healthier environment and a healthier lifestyle. So, we’ll likely see more farmers markets and community co-ops, as well as more locally grown foods in mainstream grocery stores. And no one wants to repeat the scares we had in 2007, when tainted pet food, peanut butter, ground beef, and other products made headlines. We want the government to update the food safety system so we can have confidence that our food supply is safe. But here’s some bad news, food prices are expected to continue rising, which may push consumers out of the fresh produce section into the freezer or canned food aisles.
