IN modern day, the relationship between family members is becoming more and more distant.

It is
true that modern families do not have meals together as they used to be in the past.  This essay will
consider the reasons for this trend and the problems it may cause

There are several reasons why  families no longer share mealtimes together. Firstly, people are busy
with work so that they don't have time for family. Familly’s member can have different working or
studying plans in a day,therefore, they rarely sitt down to share a meal with their family. In addition,
young people tend to prefer eating out rather than eating at home. Eating at the restaurant is very
convenient and has a variety of dishes, so young people often choose it instead of going home and
eating lunch or dinner with their parents

One problem not having time eating together with family members is that the bond between family
members gradually disappear. Having a meal together is not just about eating together but about talking
and sharing with each other after hard’s day work. Therefore, reducing time of eating together with
family members also means that the opportunity for a family to boost their ties is lost. Furthermore, the
consequences of not eating at home is that the health of people are damaged. For example, children
who eat out too much will easily become obese because they do not have the right nutrition

In conclusion, it is true that family meals are vanishing nowadays because of some factor. As the result,
this phenomenon could have negative effects on the health and relationship of family members.
