Sign in to save your progress & unlock rewards!You may be surprised at how different the eating habits are between the two largest American generations of the last few centuries — the baby boomers and the millennials. Boomers are far older than their millennial counterparts, and the two groups grew up eating very different types of food. Due to the "boom" of babies born post-WWII, meals made at home were cheap, frozen, and easily prepared. More children equaled less time to cook, which skyrocketed pre-packaged meals into common use.
For millennials, also known as Generation Y, food isn't just there to satisfy their hunger, or even their tastebuds. Dining is a lifestyle in its own right. Avocado toast, pumpkin spice lattes, veggie shakes, meatless burgers, and everything that comes in a bowl: even if you haven't eaten it, you would've seen it on Instagram. Whether you like following modern food trends or not, it’s hard to deny that millennials are changing the way we consume and perceive food.
Are baby boomer foods more to your liking, or are you a fan of modern foods? Whatever your generation is, it's possible that your tastebuds may have a different preference. Take this quiz and see where your palate stands.

You like all kinds of foods!
You’re never afraid to try something new, even if that occasionally means eating things that make you want to be sick in your mouth. Whatever the size, shape, smell, or texture; if it’s food, you’ll put it in your mouth.
You don’t like these foods!
Maybe you didn’t like the kind of foods favored by boomers and millennials. Or maybe you’re simply a picky eater.
Cauliflower “rice” is literally finely chopped cauliflower. I like cauliflower, but I don’t eat it as rice.
But…just because I don’t like THESE foods, doesn’t make me a picky eater. Most of these particular foods just aren’t that appealing.

You prefer millennial foods!
The foods you prefer have given away the fact that you’re a millennial. You’re at the point where you feel pretty comfortable standing out from the crowd in terms of the food choices you make. Bring on the avocado toast and kombucha!
