The Only 2012 Food Trends List You Need to Read

Be honest: How many lists of top food trends have you already read? Five? Ten? Fifty? Forget them all. This one, right here, is the only one you’ll need.
1. Bananas will be yellow.
2. People will eat cupcakes. People will eat bacon. People will eat pie. People will breathe air, drink water and get pregnant, though not necessarily in that order.
3. Kombucha will remain wildly popular, so get used to rolling that word around on your tongue. Of course, only six people know what it actually is.
4. A well-known pizza chain will invent a new way to put even more cheese on its pizza: by injecting cheese into the cheese. Moncler Medoc Short Biker Jacket
5. A well-known donut chain will debut a donut whose hole is stuffed with a fully loaded baked potato. Moncler Clairy down jacket in purple
6. Children’s menus will still offer chicken nuggets, but they will soon be coated with 100% whole-grain, compostable particulate matter fortified with antioxidants. If you supersize, you’ll get a side of sugar-free Swedish fish-now with Sucralose!-and with beet extract listed as the 84th ingredient. So, basically, they’re vegetables.

7. Vitamin B12 will fall out of favor and vitamin B15 will become red-hot. Time to toss out your old vitamins and replace them with reformulated, more fashionable versions at twice the price. Newest 2010 Moncler Pop star women long down coat Chocolate
8. New energy drinks will combine coffee, tea, Coke, ginseng, chocolate and the current formulation, Rockstar. College kids will drink it, then it will be banned, then there will be a 6-hour Special Edition: Dateline NBC with sources profiled only in shadow. Then a very special Intervention. Then a very, very special Celebrity Rehab. Newest 2010 Moncler Pop star women long down coat black
9. Parents will seek ever more innovative ways to feed their kids spinach without discussing, touching, planting, harvesting, thinking about, chewing or swallowing any actual leaves. Moncler Quincy down jacket in navy
10. Kale chips-once the provenance of health-conscious home cooks-will be co-opted on a grand scale by food manufacturers. Look for pre-packaged versions with extra salt, oil and preservatives. (Flavors include cinnamon-sugar, nacho cheese and lite-bacon-chipotle.) Moncler Classic Quincy Purple puffer down jacket

14. Single-purpose slow cookers are a thing of the past. Soon to debut: models that braise beef, simmer soup, whip up Baked Alaska and fold laundry.
15. Probiotic sales have flatlined due to a lack of celebrity endorsements. In the new year, look for JWOWW Probiotics, which theJerseyShorestar promises will boost immunity while imparting a savage tan.
16. In addition to products that are gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free and soy-free, expect to see more packaged foods that are now food-free. Cup O’ Noodles, for example, will have only one ingredient: Cup.
