The week began with a look at the effects hipsters have had on food. Known for their trademark big glasses and skinny jeans, hipsters have actually contributed a lot to the modern food scene.
So what have hipsters around the world done to reshape the food landscape? For one, they are conscious of their food choices. Many have gone the route of urban farming or gardening. As a whole they tend to favor trends like vegetarianism and veganism. Those who consume meat and animal products opt for free-range eggs and grass-fed animals.
These are just some of the big changes hipsters are responsible for. Read all about the hipster revolution here - perhaps it will rub off on you.

5 Culinary Inventions That Rocked Our World
We finished the week with a look at the five culinary inventions that changed our lives in the 20th century. We explored items like toasters, microwaves, food blenders, Tupperware and fast food.
