Health

Baby Boomers have been lucky enough to escape the grasps that social media’s diet culture has put on all the younger generations, so they’re not likely to follow the same restrictive eating habits that Millenials and Gen Z do. Labels and caloric information don’t hold nearly as much value as quality, healthy meals do for this generation.

Gen Z, unfortunately, seems to be quite the opposite. This is a generation obsessed with nutrition labels, the latest diet fads, veganism, restrictive eating, etc. But, labels and caloric information doesn’t exactly equal health. All this stress over what we’re eating, yet Gen Z turns out to be the least health-conscious generation, statistically. On a daily basis, five servings of fruits and vegetables are recommended for the average person, and the FSA Food and You survey showed that those in the ages of 16-24 are least likely to consume even one serving of fruits and vegetables per day.
