Goodbye to te sit-Down Meal

Eassy # 5


As time goes by, we have gradually lost the habit of sitting with family members to eat. People have adapted different customs that have been changing this practice of having sit-down meals. There are several factors influencing this change. People now consume fast food due tolack of time; Family members have different shedules of activitird and meals; they prefer other activities instead of family meals.

Today we live a very fast life, mainly because of studies and work. This means that when you get home no one wants to prepare food. and it is easier to eat out, call the express service or buy food somewhere else to take it home, instead of cooking at home. When this happens, the family members prefer to go to any part of the house where they feel comfortable, like having dinner in bed, in the living room or in different parts of the house.

Currentlythe members of the family have different activities; parents work and children go to school. So nobody is home . Then, at night when everyone is tired, they prefer to eat food that is quick to prepare, and some eat befor the others, and that is how we have been losing the custome of family dinner.

Arriving home tired is common after a busy day at work, school or college. And it is easier to eat some type of fast food. Sometimes when you get to the house there are other activities or duties to preform, and therefore eating at the computer is very common, and not only that, but some people prefer to eat whiles watching television, which has become a custom followed by all family members.

These are the most common problems that are experienced with changing habits, thanks to technology, stress, lack of time. We have lost the habit of sitting with family member to eat, and this somehow affecrs the realtionshi within the family and feed in habits related to fast foods, which damage the body and bring with them a large number of diseases that can be lethal.
