Make something that's chocolate-peppermint flavor with, oh, about 10 calories per serving. And if you had any role in developing something pumpkin-favored, I really appreciate that.Thank you for explaining everything. You're right, there are always jobs in the food industry and I'm not earning the big bucks (which never has been my interest), but people always need to eat. Where I live on the East Coast (and before I moved on the West Coast), the farmer's markets have still been crowded even with covid controls. I haven't been to one myself since the pandemic started in 2020, but I try to shop at local shops that get their produce from local suppliers.
I actually am just an OK cook, I don't make anything fancy but I like to make basic things, easy things like stews and soups and stir-fries.
Most of the time, my jobs have been pretty mundane during the day-to-day but I will admit it feels good to see my products on the shelf.

I think product development is an impressive accomplishment. I bet your intuition plays a big role in it. I wouldn't have a clue where to start.
I read recently that California's Central Valley will probably have to switch from all sorts of fruit to olive orchards and figs as the weather becomes hotter and drier. I would think flavor substitutes will probably become more important for the stuff that can't be grown easily or cheaply.
