Allrecipes.com 11 Trends for 2011 Measuring Cup Report
Allrecipes.com, one of the largest online recipe databases, has released its “11 Trends for 2011 Measuring Cup Report.”
Insight #6, based on Allrecipes.com’s Food Trends Survey, is all about the economy and veggies–Veganomics. Citing the less than optimal financial state of many Americans’ pocketbooks, Allrecipes found this is a primary factor for more people choosing to reduce their meat consumption. But cheap carrots aren’t the sole motivation behind more kitchens looking veggie.
Twenty-five percent of those surveyed cited the rise in good tasting recipes for meatless dishes. All five top reasons for reducing meat consumption were as follows:
5. Environmental Impact (19%)
4. Better Recipes Available For Meatless Meals (25%)
3. Concern For Obesity (32%)
2. Cost (35%)
And the number one reason for trading steak for seitan a few times a week?
A whopping 75% of respondents said it was just plain healthier!
