LOHAS SURVEY
WHAT'S ON CONSUMERS
HEALTHY HOLIDAY TABLE

This holiday season LOHAS (Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability) households are revamping their traditional feasts with healthier options for many of their favorites, according to the Market LOHAS Annual Health & Natural Shopper Survey. The survey found that 8 in 10 consumers will serve up Organic/Non-GMO Food for healthy Holiday entertaining. Over half will be serving ‘Locally’ Sourced and/or Made Foods to their holiday guests expanding the ‘knowing where your food is coming from’ trend into holiday meals and entertaining.

Consumers are extending their healthy LOHAS lifestyles to their holiday tables in numerous ways. Half say that for the main course they will be purchasing natural/ABF or organic meat & poultry. Quite a few tables will be including seafood with a quarter indicating that they will be serving wild and/or sustainable seafood.

Busy LOHAS consumers will support artisan/craft food and bakeries with almost 4 in 10 including Natural Handcrafted/Packaged Specialty Baked Items on their holiday entertainment tables.

Menus will be modified for the holiday season & New Year. The Study found that many households will be switching their holiday menu & entertaining for health & planet reasons, dietary needs and desires by adding more plant-based vegetarian foods and Gluten Free options to holiday favorite dish options.
