Food Divorce Trend: In today's modern lifestyle, a new trend is rapidly emerging between husband and wife or partner, which is called 'Food Divorce'. This name seems like it is some kind of separation, but in reality it is something else. Food divorce means that the couple lives together, talks and maintains their relationship, but does not pressure each other in eating habits. Both choose different food as per their choice, time and need.
In Indian families, traditionally, great importance is given to eating food while sitting together. It is believed that the gathering of families or couples at the dinner table is not just an act of filling the stomach, but it is an important opportunity to relieve the fatigue of the day, share thoughts and connect with each other. Food is also considered a way of sharing love and happiness. But eating habits are also changing with time. Now many couples are moving away from this old tradition and giving priority to their choices.
In this trend, couples live together as before, but give up the obligation to eat the same type of food. For example, one partner likes spicy or fast food from outside, while the other likes light and simple home-made food. In such a situation, both of them cook or order different food of their choice, ignoring each other's preferences. If one is going to the gym then he takes a protein rich diet, while the other may choose carbs or vegetarian food.
There are many reasons behind this trend. The most important reason is fitness goals. Every person's physical requirements are different – some need more protein, while others need a low-calorie diet. In such a situation, the same food is not suitable for both. The second big reason is lack of time. Nowadays most of the couples are working. Due to different office shifts, it becomes difficult to sit together and eat. Instead of fighting, they eat as per their wish and also do shopping as per their choice.
