Americans have made their preference for organic and natural products clear. Shoppers spent nearly $45.8 billion on them in 2004, according to research just published in the 24th Annual Market Overview in the June issue of The Natural Foods Merchandiser magazine.
Attendees will discover what will be selling in 2006: Hot Trends icons and guides identify must-see products in Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), Grab-n-Go, Special Diet, Kids and Sustainability categories. Retailers will choose the winners of the third-annual New Products Showcase Award Competition showcasing hundreds of new products in six categories.
"Trends drive our industry and inject it with the kind of excitement that is influencing conventional categories and bringing new customers to natural and organic," said Jen Shumar, attendee marketing director at New Hope Natural Media. "Whether you're a retailer, producer, buyer or marketer, you need to know what the next big thing is. Natural Products Expo East is the place to find it quickly."

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
