One in five Americans spends less than 15 minutes preparing dinner. And many millennials want to know more about how food is grown, and they view food not just as nutrition but also as entertainment and self-expression. Find out how to relate today's food culture to tomorrow's packaging at IoPP's upcoming, information-packed standard webinar "The Changing Face of Health & Wellness, and Implications for Packaging," taking place from online from 10 to 11 a.m. CDT on Aug. 20.
