With total membership as high as 78 million (our study focuses on the approximately 40 million consumers between the ages of 18 and 28), Millennials represent an irresistible customer pool -- and not just because of their numbers. Call them Generation Me, Echo Boomers, whatever: more than any demographic in history, Millennials go beyond mere spending power The power of legislatures to tax and spend.

* A quantitative online food and beverage attitude and behavior study

* A customized qualitative study we dubbed "Kickin' It" [TM] sessions, held in a living room setting

* More "Kickin' It"[TM] sessions, this time in a restaurant setting

We combined our research findings with additional reporting and raw data to create a 360-degree portrait of a generation and its eating habits.

Note: the following report is a departure from our usual Trend Mapping study.

Instead of highlighting trends, we focus on essential traits of Millennials that shape their food and beverage choices -- now and for decades to come. Our comments paint a comprehensive portrait of the Millennial eater:

* Happy in The Third Place: how Gen Y eats and socializes in communal spaces, real or virtual

* Gen Wired: the tech component of Millennial eating, from text ordering to the cybertainment restaurant

* Thrill Aficionados: Gen Y's love of heightened experiences, flavors that are complex and layered, with acidic zip

* Mashup Artists: this is all about customization, especially in appreciating and (better yet) creating hybrid cuisines and flavors

* Planet Savers: Gen Y's social consciousness, an interest in local and organic, fair trade and vegetarian/vegan options even for omnivores

* Amped and Gorgeous: Gen Y is nutraceutical and supplement savvy, having been raised by health-conscious Boomer parents

* Authentic "Kewlness": What makes some foods and products cool to Gen Y? Hint: look under the radar This article is about the magazine. For other uses, see Under the Radar (disambiguation).

Under the Radar is an American magazine that bills itself as "The solution to music pollution." It features interviews with accompanying photo-shoots.
