I’m not sure when the deadline is for getting your food trends for 2009 in is, but the Canadians are out with theirs.
Our neighbors to the North say it’s all about, “hunkering down and surviving the economic chaos.”
Which in their words means affordable eats, comfort foods and getting healthy.

Some of those changes include brown bag lunches, home cooked meals and avoiding the restaurant scene.

2009 Canadian trends

Lower sodium foods
Vegetarian kids
Probiotics
Healthy carbs
Increase in fruits and vegetables
Beer and red wine marinades

After reading the list I wonder if Canadians are trend setters or just jumping on the band wagon?

Love to hear where you think food is headed this year… Let us know in the comments section.
