The article was inspired by an earlier Wall Street Journal report on a similarly serious epidemic.
The article pulls a plethora of charts and stats to suggest young people are moving away from grocery spending and toward snacking and eating out. It also, however, notes that the shift is not entirely attributed to millennial habits.
Which had a lot of people then scratching their heads at the headline. Like, then why... "Millennials"?
