66), there were some requirements to consider a meal adequate; “A utensil that fits into the mouth… a table… a seating arrangement… meals are for the family…”. Sitting at the table for family dinner is still perceived as a standard daily ritual (Wilk, 2010). The rituals linked to this vision are different for each family, but they all involve a certain level of social interaction. The perception of this cultural symbol as reality still seems to have weight despite changes in society that suggest that an increasing number of people are creating new normative rituals to adapt to the faster pace of their lives and modern living. Numerous meals are consumed taking into account the poverty of time and the comfort that must be offered; furthermore, these are consumed alone. For countless people, lunch is eaten outside the home, almost every day of the week. It has become acceptable for postmodern families to forgo having dinner together at home due to irregular work schedules or sporting commitments. It has also become acceptable to eat a meal in a restaurant, an event that was once reserved for special occasions (Osman, et al., 2014). The proliferation of all types of food outlets to meet this growing demand for convenience and sustenance shifts our attention away from the rituals associated with shared eating, the art of cooking, and the social interactions that occurred around food.
