there are fears that in the economic crisis consumers will put on “recession pounds” by eating unhealthily. rightly or wrongly, food manufacturers may suffer the blame but “unhealthy” and “recession proof” do not necessarily go hand-in-hand. and as consumers re-evaluate their spending, knowing which products are likely to be hit hardest could help give food companies a competitive edge.
