How do you think people's relationship with food has changed over the last generation or two?

A natural way to answer

I think our relationship with food has become far more conscious, for better and for worse. People are more aware of nutrition and where their food comes from, which is positive. At the same time, there's a lot more anxiety and judgement around eating now, and the simple pleasure of a meal can sometimes get lost in the noise.

Key phrases to use

• lost touch with — to have gradually lost a connection to something once familiar“We've lost touch with how food is grown.”
• get lost in the noise — to be overlooked because there's too much distraction around it“Real flavour gets lost in the noise of food trends.”
• taken the joy out of — to have removed the pleasure from something that should be enjoyable“Strict dieting takes the joy out of eating.”
• paid the price — to have suffered a negative consequence for something“We gained convenience but paid the price in quality.”
