Specialty Eggs, McDonald's, Health Trends Receive Top Billing at Conference

摘要

Health consciousness will only increase as a food trend. That's the view of Art Turock, president of Art Turock & Associates, who spoke at the recent Urner Barry Executive Conference and Marketing Seminar in Las Vegas, Nev. There is no gentle decline, no hiding place for retailers or suppliers who fail to spot consumer trends or adapt to changing markets, Turock said, citing a quote from Sir Terry Leahy, CEO, Tesco. Both McDonalds and Tyson saw the health consciousness issue and planned for it, hesaid. Turock also cited trends he called the perfect storm: obesity, aging and the increase of diabetes in the United States.
