A third of Brits have adopted a vegan diet or significantly reduced their meatintake, according to research from Waitrose.The ‘Waitrose & Partners Food & Drink Report 2018-19’ is based on OnePollconsumer research of British consumers and supported by focus group researchand insight from shoppers. It’s clear from the research that mindfulness has emerged as one of thebiggest food trends, with manufacturers set to benefit for providing consumerswith more mindful options.As well as the more widespread appeal of veganism and flexitarian diets,consumers have also sought to adopt more responsible packaging options. Forexample, 60% of us now choose a refillable water bottle and coffee cup.Waitrose Managing Director Rob Collins said: “As we become increasinglymindful of our own health, the wellbeing of our family and that of the planet,we’re reshaping how we shop, cook and eat.
