This is a post that I have had saved up and planned for ages but haven’t ever gotten around to doing due to prioritising other things.

Social media, arguably one of the most expansive and dominant media forms in recent times, has quickly grown to become a powerhouse of connections and information.

How Does Technology Influence Eating Habits?

Technology isn’t just changing the way we communicate – it’s changing the way we eat. Take social media for example. Sharing food snaps on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter has grown into a worldwide phenomenon. Certain influencers have even made an entire career out of utilising this craze for food on their feeds. According to the Choosi Modern Food Trends Report, 39% of respondents claimed social media influences their current eating behaviours, with Gen Ys most likely to be influenced (64.4%). But still the question remains. How much of an impact does technology really have on what we eat? And how will this change in the future? Let’s find out….
