With great wokeness, comes great responsibility. Tell a self-consumed baby boomer that and they're likely to laugh at you. "Oh please, you guys! What is 'woke' anyway?" is a standard response. It's simple actually — waking up and being aware of and responsible to your surroundings.

This has not only impacted the way we communicate, but also how we dress, or more importantly, eat. Phrases like farm-to-fork, single origin or organic may have been as ubiquitous as paid trolls on Twitter. But if you pay close attention, a pattern — driven by a larger collective conscience — is eminent. "There's renewed interest in 'good eating' and a growing awareness of food systems, which includes where our food comes from and how it is grown and distributed," says Neysa Mendes, who runs the popular wellness blog, Good Slice.
