Most families in India function this way. The kids come home from tuition in the evening and eat their dinner in front of the TV. The grandparents then eat their dinner because they’re diabetic and can’t delay their meals by even a minute. The father now comes home after a long day of work and eats his dinner in silence while watching a couple of overs of a random cricket game. Once everyone’s eaten, the mother sits on the dining table with most lights off, quietly finishes her dinner, cleans the table, washes the dishes and goes to bed. Although this sounds dystopian, this is the reality for households in India.
While this introduction was a bit sad, the situation with family nutrition in the world is not much different. Some in the family focus on protein, some love themselves a bit of that juicy carbs while the rest just survive on fat and nothing else. Family nutrition around the world has become one of the key points of discussion in health forums and therefore, we thought about addressing the elephant in the room.
