A large and unique generation, millennials have captivated the minds of marketers in all industries. According to Forbes, members of this generation tend to be more optimistic and independent when it comes to their world views. They also tend to be less traditional than the generations that came before them when it comes to experiencing various life stages. These characteristics pose distinctive challenges to marketers in the food service industry, who must come up with new and interesting strategies to keep their brands at the top of millennials' minds.

American consumers are still living the fast-paced, on-the-go lifestyle they have been living for the past 60 or so years. Our appetites for ease and convenience have not changed, although our health preferences and diet choices have. Instead of automatically opting for the Mickey D's drive-thru when we're hungry and pressed for time, we're increasingly pressuring food innovation experts and grocers to provide us with healthy, low-fat, low-sodium and low-sugar grab-and-go products that we can gobble on the fly.
