Food choices are not only influenced by personal tastes, dietary needs, and cultural differences; they also differ between generations.
Gen-Yers, or millennials, are those born between 1981 and 1996. As a group with better spending power, they tend to be willing to pay a premium price for higher-quality products and plant-based foods. Certain food trends and TikTok recipes that millennials go gaga over just cause a shrug or even an eye-roll with older generations.
Baby boomers are those who were born in the two decades following World War II. Because of their age now, health concerns play an important role in their choice of food.
Curious Gen-Zers—those born in the years 1997-2012, following millennials—are open to new experiences and don't like staying still. Their taste preferences can overlap with their predecessors as they show a penchant for eating healthy food, although they're also more likely to turn to less good-for-you dishes.
To find out if your taste in food matches your generation, take this quiz, pick some foods, and we'll try to figure it out!
