Oh, it's the daily "Why won't millenials engage in the usual consumerist patternsß Don't they know they are ruining the economy?"-headline. I feel sorry for the article writers that get burdened with this stuff.
But this story reflects two universal truths about culture.
First, many cultural changes for which Millennials are
initially blamed really reflect broader trends affecting
even the oldest consumers. Second, many cultural changes
are really reversions to old norms.>The big story here is not that young people are uniquely turning away from groceries. Rather, the story is a structural shift toward eating out at restaurants
>So what seems to be a strictly Millennial trend is in fact part of a much broader cultural shift.
Sigh. At least you didn't write "for all intensive purposes".
