The Disapperance of Dinnertime

Many things have changed over the last thirty years including the fact that more women are part of the professional workforce. This means both parents are providing for the family unit. It also means due to time constraints, healthy traditions such as family mealtime are disappearing.
As a matter-of-fact, in 2004 Americans spent over ten times more eating out than in 1974. Out of that spending, over half is on fast food according to the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.
Convenience is the name of the game. And fast food is convenient. So the question remains, how can we change the current situation? The answer is quite simple: Meal Planning! Meal planning businesses are now a reality, providing families’ healthier food choices and complete meals.
You simply pick your date and time and go in to assemble a months worth of meals, or stop by to pick up a quick, yet nutritionally complete meal on your way home. Could you plan out your meals a month in advance and freeze them yourself? Absolutely, but these businesses offer the convenience of doing all the shopping and clean up. And with time at a minimum you can’t beat that! Another benefit of utilizing a meal planning service is the social aspect. Getting together and chatting with other women while assembling the meals makes the task much more fun, seeming a lot less like work. Homemade Gourmet is a family-friendly business with the goal of “Bringing Families Back to the Dinner Table.” Senior Distributor Kala Meyering has taken
the business one step further and created her own meal planning business out of her home using
Homemade Gourmet’s great tasting products.
