Ingredients are going to become less expensive. Especially anything that can be done hydroponically or greenhouse. I wish I had the capital to build a fruit picking robot based on optimus or boston dynamics that uses qwen3 vl for ripeness evaluation; with jetson for the brains. You know people are doing it though.

> Will fresh fish become less popular due to availability concerns than tinned fish?

Overfishing in the 1950s to 1970s was a huge problem. We put in new regulations to recover. Most of these restrictions are going to start opening up in the next 5-10 years.

great lakes limits have reduced fish populations heavily to the point coastal fishing is questionable; but commercial fisherman go out for only a couple hours and hit their limit. Pretty good days work.

But even then, we are well below 1% capacity for fish if the markets ever shift toward demand. The great lakes have little to none of those big net fish pens for farming fish in the wild. Aquaponics could also take off.

>Will gluten/dairy/lactose free and other processed food products remain

We know what causes people to have these intolerances, but dont have a fix for the problem as of yet anyway. This will stay, and likely get worse.

>Will highly processed foods decline or stay the sam

One of Canada's biggest mistakes is not processing food enough. Hopefully this increases. Flipside, the last question feeds into this one. The intolerances to food are known, which also correspond to highly processed foods. But these people are still a minority in society. Less than 3%.

>- Will lab grown meat take off, or remain an early adopter food?

They need to hit the right pricepoint or have some sort of innovation. There's also multiple different approaches here and that matters. The beyond meat options are trash and will likely disappear.

The 3d printed from scrap meats but we have wagyu level ratios at cheap steak prices. Their problem isnt price point, it's building the machine that replaces the hotdog machine; or better gives more options. They'll get there eventually; but this isnt lab grown exactly. Hybrids will come along as well.

The stem cells that grow dog meat level ratios at wagyu prices. Their problem is getting fat into the meat. It might work for chicken or turkey but then they have a pricepoint problem. Their scaling has to be immense to make it work but adoption wont be fast enough. This is where the billionaires could sink big cash to eliminate food scarcity.

If they could get better cell line, I dont know, I think they are still far from a solution. They havent even come up against those who dont want to change. But if we're talking 200 years from now, lab grown meat will be the majority case with ever improving numbers of quality options.

>- Will we see a continued switch to less common bread types using different grains, or will artisanal breads decline for the standard wheat based breads?

bread should be greatly reduced if not eliminated from human foods. Feed the herbivore animals with it? But who is going to tell people no more cake or donuts?

>- How we cook and prepare foods, will we see a shift to more delivery or ready meals, or more cook at home kits?

hard to predict. capitalism is about options; but the ratios of options will always be changing. What needs to happen here is figuring out how to not need to freeze the meats; but have long shelf lives. whoever figures that out, wins big.
