HEIGHTENED SENSES
1
INJECTED WITH COLOUR The second trend that will be explored in this publication is heightened senses and the way the future of food could be effected by this. I believe that the future is going to see a huge rise in healthy eating, as explored in the previous trend, due to people being more obsessed with what their body consumes. However, thinking about wanting to maintain a healthier lifestyle is often easier than doing it. Many people revert to their old habits due to the desire that unhealthy foods behold; they’re a lot more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Why can’t healthy food be too? I propose that the future of food and drink will see fruit and vegetables go colour crazy, attracting people who perhaps wouldn’t have been before. Food will be injected with colour to make what some people may deem as ugly foods, become more attractive to the eye. Although adapting the colour of food could make it look more synthetic, which at first could be seen as a negative because the point of healthy food is the desire of it being naturally pleasing, for many the desire for a food product is its appearance. I am also going to explore changing the appearance of food through another avenue. As well as adapting food colour to make it look more attractive, i will be exploring how to make ugly food look pretty in a slightly more extreme way. The question is, can a dead fish ever look pretty? Embracing Minimalism is something that almost everyone is doing in terms of their clothes and interiors. I propose that there will be a huge rise of minimalism in food. Presentation is key and simplicity is everything.

PRESENTATION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS Although Instagram is in fact a social media app, it is starting to change the way the human population eats. The selfie craze is over, it’s time to welcome the ‘Instagrammable food’ phase. people are obsessed with taking the perfect picture of their food, it’s not as simple as taking the picture and posting it. The photo gets taken, then the brightness, contrast and saturation is adjusted, before adding a filter. Presentation is everything. If food is presented in a way that looks admirable, then it’s more likely to attract people to eating it. Although it’s easier to make unhealthy food look desirable, i think that the future will see the rise in the perfect food selfie and how this can in fact do wonders for healthy food in the future, attracting more people to a healthy lifestyle.
