5．At the end of the year，our magazine is revealing our annual food and shopping predictions based on our research．
Grazing Golden-Agers：
Ninety-one percent of people say they snack daily，according to Nielsen．While snacking is on the rise among all ages and genders，research shows that snacking among consumers over the age of 65could contribute to additional years with a higher quality of life．We'll see more boomers-those raised in the"three square meals a day"period-employ a"grazing"approach to eating foods rich in nutrients like protein，fiber and Omega3that can help promote bone health．
Same-Day Delivery Not Just for City Clickers：
Online grocery shopping and delivery has become a crowded space，with a host of services competing for consumer attention．This trend allows everyone who sells food to be in the same-day delivery business without having to add additional operational facilities．Look for Google Shopping Express to put every supermarket in the same day delivery business and change consumer behavior to shop online for food to be delivered to homes fresh for each meal．You now can throw your refrigerator away!
The Rise of Fermented Foods：
The next year will be the year when fermented （发酵的） foods-foods like yogurt，pickles（泡菜） take center stage．These foods contain live cultures，or are preserved in liquid so their sugars and other seasonings can become bacteria-promoting agents．In fact，a survey has found that nearly 50percent of Americans have shown interest in fermented foods，who，especially those over 60s，have improved a lot in digestion．However，if treated inappropriately，the bacteria hidden in these foods might have our hospitals full of sick dinners．Therefore make sure to study the cooking skills well before you these foods．
Supermarkets change into Socializing Spaces：
Supermarkets have evolved from straightforward centers where consumers could buy groceries to providers of lifestyle．Supermarkets are developing a variety of services that help to establish each outlet as a showcase of lifestyle trends．A desire to be"all things food"to their customers，young and old，is positioning the supermarkets as head to head competitors with chain and local restaurants．Cooking classes，and online home-made recipes are also giving consumers reasons beyond a grocery list to step inside their neighborhood supermarkets instead of a local restaurant．
