This time last year, most of the country was still in the thick of social distancing and planning their holidays via Zoom instead of in-person family gatherings. We all hoped that 2021 would be better, and we could get back to normal.
Well, that didn’t happen. Certainly, the country is closer to normalcy after about 18 months of COVID-19 news. But that doesn’t mean that the upcoming Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holiday dinners will be the same massive feasts that they have been in years past. Things have changed, meal plans have changed, and processors need to be ready to change with them.
