You may not recognize it but supermarkets have changed quite a bit in the last 50 years. Just think about it, 50 years ago the stores were much smaller, had very limited selections, probably had little to no “ethnic” items, had only a small variety of fruits and vegetables (whatever was in season).
What about 50 years from now? The Fiscal times took a crack at identifying what the supermarket of the future will look like. They explore two concepts: rotational products based on rotated availability and products with limited or even no packaging. I’m not sure I agree that either idea will be in place in 50 years, but it is interesting to think about.

Rantings of an Amateur Chef 
In other words, the supermarket in 50 years might look a little more like the one 50 years ago. I remember when supermarkets were small enough you could find everything you wanted without walking a marathon through junk food and food supplement aisles. If they just get rid of the junk food, the food supplements won’t be necessary. Neither that nor the medicinals to cure you from junk food OD.
