The tradition of families getting together to eat meals is disappearing. What are the reasons? What is the impact?

In earlier times, seating together with family members during eating was a common phenomenon.

However

, the culture is disappearing in modern times. In

this

essay, I will discuss the causes of

this

and will

also

try to find out the effects of losing

such

a tradition. Are there myriads of reasons responsible to change the family get-together habit during taking meals? Certainly, there are.

First

and foremost, nowadays the

food

habit of an individual has greatly changed because of the

development

of unhealthy

food

chains.

That is

to say, people nowadays prefer to eat rich foods outside, say, in a restaurant or a hotel as they find them tasty compared to home-made foods.

As a result

, the culture of family dining is losing popularity.

Secondly

, nowadays the cost of living is increasing due to the upward trend of

food

inflation. That’s why each and every member have to take a job to support their families which cause an individual to take a meal on office premises,

for instance

, canteen, café, and many more. In

this

way, a person can not seat for a family dinner even though he/she wishes to. The disappearance of getting together of family members' during consuming

food

leads to weak family bonding and

also

develops unhealthy diets. When it comes to the question of a family meeting, it enables one to know about other family members’ conditions. I mean one can know about their personal life,

for instance

, physical state, job situation, and so on. The lacking of

such

a meeting leads to weak family bonding as family members become intruders to each other.

Moreover

, the disappearance of a family meal leads to the

development

of unhealthy diets. My point is if they do not eat together for a meal that means they are consuming

food

from different eateries,

for example

,

food

shops, restaurants, and so on which are unhealthy in nature even though delicious. To sum up, it must be said that seating for a family meal is disappearing because of the

development

of unhealthy

food

chains as well as an increase in living costs.

Therefore

, the family bonding is weakening, and

also

the diet of an individual getting unhealthy. I guess

this

is a negative

development

.
