About this episode
Annie Gray and Rob Lowery discuss the evolution of consumer food culture and current trends in health and nutrition.
Recorded live on stage at Food Matters Live, at London's Olympia London, this is the session that opened the whole event, and it set the tone perfectly. Food historian Annie Gray and Rob Lowery, VP of Marketing at PepsiCo UK, Ireland and Europe, sit down for a wide-ranging fireside conversation on where consumer food culture has come from, where it's heading, and how to tell the difference between a genuine trend and a flash in the pan. They cover how the health concerns driving food choices today, from protein to gut health, are less new than we think, and what that tells us about what's likely to stick Why personalised nutrition is still accelerating, and what GLP-1 medications are doing to consumer habits and food industry priorities And how fragmented eating patterns, demographic shifts, and the rise of remote working are reshaping the occasions food is designed around Find out about upcoming events at foodmatterslive.com .
