[QUOTE="graj0, post: 728612"] Most families these days will not have a housekeeper, traditionally, many moons ago, that would be the lady of the house (I'm a house spouse myself). These days there seems to be an emphasis on getting eating done as quickly as possible, convenience being the over-riding factor. To the extent that not only do people eat in front of the TV (not knocking, I've been there), but they eat at their desk, in front of their computer, while they're traveling (driving/buses/trains/walking), and we end up not thinking about what we're eating, we just get it down our necks. It is my opinion that making meals a more formal occasion where you sit at the dinner table, we would look at what we eat more seriously. I know people have busy lives and unfortunately the knock on effect of that busy life is eating without thinking. [/QUOTE]
