Millennials, people born between 1981 and 2000, giving an annual average of 1.512 euros on food and drink outside of the kitchen door. That’s a lot more than the older generations. Baby boomers will not exceed 519 euros. It turns out that that Sunday is a survey of the food service Institute of the Netherlands (FSIN).
“Food is for the millennials and generation Z, is a key issue in their way of life,” says FSIN director Jan-Willem Grievink, The younger generations are giving money to opt-in to the hip, snacks, and drinks. The food is often vegetarian; coffee with oat or soya milk.
“They have to eat and drink, and see what they have in life. Where are the generation X examines what is on tv, talking to the twenty-somethings and thirty-somethings about what they’ve eaten or drank and when. This can be shared on social media,” says Grievink. “They have each other, healthy tips, and ask for some meat to eat.” That is, according to the head of the FSIN or in part, only to the music. “They’re eating too much junk food, you know.”
There it says Grievink, though, that chains like McDonald’s are also vegetarian variants on offer, and less of the unhealthy alternatives. “Using less salt, less unhealthy fats.”
the Dutch consume more and more common outside of the door since the economic crisis is over, and the younger generation at the forefront. “To be a part of depends on it, along with the economic boom, but it’s not so much that young people, when the crisis broke out sandwiches with chocolate spread is going to make.”
