Dinner on the couch

Dinner on the couch

Do you dine at the dining table, or do you prefer to plop on the couch with your plate on your lap? More and more people are leaving the dining table for what it is.

It has become a habit for many families. Six out of ten meals are eaten on the couch in front of the television. A third is ashamed of this habit, the same number of people do not talk to each other while eating, according to a British study.

Easy meal
When we eat on the couch, we often opt for an easy meal, such as a ready meal or a takeaway meal. The reason is that after a long working day we don't feel like sitting at the table and discussing the day.

At the table
Dinner is quite neglected and that while it is quite important to eat at the table. You are therefore more aware of what you eat, while you often mindlessly eat your meal behind the TV. Read more tips for conscious eating>>
