Only one data point (well, 3) but one of my parents remarried and I have 3 half siblings 15y-19y old. They pretty much just eat out every time they go out with friends, and are obsessed with finding new places to eat out and share online. "Instaburgers" (burgers made entirely look good on Instagram/Snapchat)) anduff like that. Otherwise they hang at home with friends or at friends places, and go to beach a lot (they don't live near a beach, it's a day trip). I don't think I've ever heard of them doing ANY of the stuff we did as kids. No arcades, skate parks, parks in general, and movies are once a year, maybe twice. They mostly get their content legally online (Netflix, iTunes, etc). None pirate or know how. None do any "geek" stuff either. Tech is purely for media and games.

As a teen, we just looked at food as something we had to eat. Talking about food was, yea I guess, uncool? And they were advertising heavily back then too? I wonder if it's related to the Internet? Yes--I will take a easy shot. Child watches enough stuff on the Internet. The happy/successful people are thin. (Yes, we cared about weight/looks, but it was different.). Child starts to worry about diet. So, now food is see as more sexy? I don't know? Pesonally, I thought people stopped with the whole meal picture taking? Actually, looking back, the girls-women I knew, appreciated good food more than us. I noticed it after drinking at parties. I would watch the women eating(when the party died down, and pizza, etc. was ordered, and they were satisfied. Guys were still thinking about the possibility of sex. I am getting older. I notice parents are forcing their kids to go outside. I noticed one family do this, and they have healthy active girls. They are always outside doing something. Then, I have seen it fail. When I do go out, I just don't see young people anymore. I think it's mainly do to where I live, but it's still confusing.
