Food distribution and wholesaling, issues related to education programs to combat obesity.

I will be continuing/expanding on my research on Generation Y (Millennials) in terms of their attitudes and preferences toward food, food retailing and food service.

In particular I will be studying the following:
  1. What are Generation Y's attitudes towards food?
  2. What are Generation Y's attitudes towards food retailing?
  3. What are Generation Y's attitudes toward food service/restaurants?
  4. Where do members of Generation Y they shop for/acquire food?
  5. As the "wired" generation, does this suggest that Gen Y will buy food (groceries/meals) on line?
