@Wow, lots here to digest. I'd like to make a pitch for Kiva.org. #52...Just an amazing way to directly help third world folks. Mrs. Sixty handles our involvement and is thrilled with the program. She started with $25! every time she gets repaid, she adds $5 to the next loan.

I'm looking forward to affordable nutrition, especially since I'm taking steps to going raw. DD and I went totally gourmet raw yesterday (which you don't have to do)...we loved our squash soup loaded with mango, organges, bananas and jalepenos, and our 'fried rice' (no frying involved) with beats, carrots, ginger, garlic, yams and more. :-)

Yum! That sounds absolutely delicious, Sandy! I love squash soup, and your fruitastic take sounds particularly yummy.

That sounds really delicious, Sandy! A raw food diet does wonders for the body, even if it's only for a few weeks. (It's just tough when you are invited to restaurants or are invited to someone's home.)

Marissa and Bianca...it was delicious! :-) I especially loved that it wasn't cooked. DD and I just made some raw cashew ice cream with raw chopped almonds, raw maple syrup, and carob powder -- I can't wait until it freezes, we taste tested after we finished stirring and it was awesome! Bianca, that is sooo true! Eating elsewhere can be difficult. I started a blog yesterday to share my journey...I know there will be ups and downs. :-)

Ayman, two years ago I did a detox during a bad bout with rheumatoid arthritis...it took all of my symptoms away! I'll be posting about other positive stories, along with my journey at my blog that I just started yesterday. Feel free to pop in anytime! Here's the link: http://healthaspirations.blogspot.com/

Congrats on the new blog! I will surly be visiting it and getting tips. I didn't know much about raw diets until I wrote this trend. Hopefully you will write some diet/raw stuff in TH as well, it's good to spread a positive attitude about health here.

Nice work linking to relevant articles for this list... Also, it's good to see where all the Trend Hunters have been ahead of the curve covering those trends earlier in the year...

I know, I was astounded at how many we had. Jeremy, a lot of the predictions you have made for media are here too, like the rise of DIY and the return to the kitchen. Very cool!

I'm going to add a couple of other predictions -- even more people will choose to home educate and we'll see it growing in more European and Asian countries too. I also say that standardized testing in schools will soon become a thing of the past and colleges will eventually end SAT's and ACT's and opt to go on a persons real life experiences via a portfolio -- a few are already doing this.
