    Anything organic. I just can't bring myself to buy it. In fact, I have paid MORE to have non-organic carrots when my regular ones were out of stock and the only other options were organic or super expensive.

    Why would you pay more for a carrot just because of a label?

    is greek yogurt a trend?

    yeah, it is. tastes like spackle though. i'm not at all into it.

    People eat spackle?? I must get some next time I'm in Home Depot and fancy a snack.

    And I'm with @Machka9 - pumpkin is waaaaay better in savoury foods.

    Never had kale chips but man I love me some kale. If hummus can't be trendy because it's been around forever then neither can kale. Kale is hardly a new vegetable.

    Coconut water. Someone once gave me one to try, and called it amazing. Umm, no, I found it disgusting. Not going to buy that. Ever.

    They may have been around forever, but I think by trendy, it means that they've become more popular or are trending.

    Fresh kale is OK. Kale chips are crap.

    Pumpkins spice ANYTHING; gluten free anything; yogurt anything.

    Which isn't to say that I don't like pumpkin spicing, foods that are gluten free, or yogurt. But I'm not going to trend-buy them because of those labels.

    I love coconut milk, but the coconut water I tried years ago was just vile.

    The only pumpkin spice foodstuff I'll consume is pumpkin spice cream liqueur.

    I'm not opposed to pumpkin spice stuff, but I saw pumpkin spice tortilla chips yesterday at Whole Foods and that was a hard "no" for me. I don't want pumpkin spice with my salsa.

    I quite like quinoa, but have been eating it off and on for almost 30 years, it's been available in health food stores here for as long as I can remember. It's really nice with black beans, corn, onion, tomato, lemon, salt, cilantro, avocado, a little olive oil. You have to rinse it before cooking. Very pleasant texture.

    Honestly, I really don't refuse to purchase anything unless it's something hubby or I flat out don't like. Doesn't matter if it's trendy or not. *shrugs* I happen to like chia seeds and have them every day. I don't buy them because they are trendy though. I dislike the pumpkin spice craziness so don't buy that but it's because I don't like pumpkin flavored stuff LOL. It's pretty simple for me. Like = buy. Don't like = pass.
