Your unique workout data is synced to your diet plan via the powers of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and it generated the perfect combination of ingredients for your recovery smoothie to maximize your weight loss and muscle recovery goals. This magical intelligence can also consider your sleep, insulin, and stress levels, optimizing your diet at every turn and suggesting the right cocktail of foodstuff to improve your health and quality of life. Does this scenario seem like a sci-fi television episode from when we were kids, along with flying cars and teleporting? No, this is what Deliveroo’s “Snack to the Future: 2040” Report, released in early July predicts about food consumption by 2040. According to the report, the global personalized nutrition market is valued at £14.5 billion in 2023 and is predicted to grow to £66 billion by 2040. That’s no small feat - there will have to be a significant innovation in personalized nutrition solutions, and the brand has just the term ready to coin for it: “me-ganism” (you heard it from me first).
For some of us, this AI-driven dream is one we’d like to chase. If you have had enough trying to think through menu planning, grocery shopping, and meal preparation, passing the buck to artificial intelligence may feel like a heaving sigh of relief. For others, the mere suggestion that AI infiltrates our minds and takes over our food choices is closely knit to a nightmare we once had. However, we aren’t far off from this becoming a reality.
