NEW YORK, March 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Suzy, a leading consumer insights platform that provides "actionable insights at the speed of culture," asked U.S. consumers where they are most likely to first hear about the latest in healthy food trends. The results, powered by the platform's on-demand network of more than one million consumers, may surprise you. Regardless of their interest in health, all survey respondents are most likely to hear about the latest in healthy food trends from their friends, family or social media, as opposed to television, blogs, magazines or online news sources.
