Trend Diet is being individualised by biology and widened by unfamiliar raw materials

Summary

This trend describes diets becoming tailored to each person's biology while also expanding to unfamiliar ingredients. Sitra's imagined 2046 magazine asks what will be on our plates and which health trends will be in the spotlight. In it a reader shares a recipe for an algae and python stir-fry said to be especially good for gut health. The story draws on signals such as python meat as a sustainable protein, Baltic bladderwrack as food and an electric spoon that delivers a salty taste. On the personal side, services now build diets from a customer's genes or from stool, blood and blood sugar data. Research linking a dietary supplement to sensitivity to unfairness hints at food shaping judgement as well as health.
