Bottled Water a 2007 Top 20 Culinary Trend? Yes.
According to a study conducted last October, by the National Restaurant Association, bottled water made it to #5 on the list of the Top 2007 Culinary Trends.

Does hearing this surprise you? It did me, as there has been so much talk about the non-earth friendliness of bottled water and plastic bottles. It will be interesting to see what food items makes it on the list for 2008. What did not surprise me however, was #2 and #3 on the list, locally grown produce, and organic produce. Read more of what made it to the list below. The list proves that Americans are desperately wanting to eat healthier and are becoming more aware of seasonal and local food options. This is good for a slew of reasons, including: helping local farmers, boosting local economies, bettering the environment, and trimming waistlines.
