Millennials aren't foodies - a foodie is somebody who both understands and appreciates the underlying art and science behind food, and has a refined approach to its appreciation.
Milennials as a whole just don't know how to cook, and would die if presented with raw ingredients and cooking utensils and told hey this is all you get now.
There is a big difference between being a foodie and ordering doordash, or a $27 plate of pasta they need to take a picture of.
What the hell are you talking about
Congratulations, you just erased an entire generation
I'm sure there's a lot of variance, but at least anecdotally I've observed the exact opposite: these millennials (basically 90% of my friend group) are obsessed with not only the provenance of our produce, but geeking out over the tiniest detail of it's preparation and presentation.
It probably does have something to do with social media. I'm not even saying this is necessarily all a bad thing, but it is a definite thing. Like neither my parents friends nor my friends parents were remotely this extra about food when I was growing up.
