Foodies of the world, unite!
18% of the American food buying public now consider gourmet versions of food products first, according to a Simmons Market Research Bureau report. More here:
"More gourmet products are using natural and organic ingredients (and appealing to consumers' social consciences by offering products that are good for the environment and for the workers who produce them), and more natural foods retailers are carrying upscale, gourmet food and beverage items that meet their quality standards," said Don Montuori, publisher of Packaged Facts.
I fully expect this trend to continue. As reasonably priced gourmet products penetrate the market, economies of scale come into play and will motivate other companies to follow suit. Eat local, and buy smart!
Not to beat you over the head with a sales pitch, but that's good news for use at Desert Island Foods™.com. Have I mentioned our all natural, fairly priced gourmet products lately?
I feel so cheap.
