“One of America’s long-standing cultural institutions is in decline. The Survey Center on American Life is reporting that only 38 percent of Gen Z Americans who are now adults report eating regularly with family at the dinner table. This is in contrast with 74 percent of Americans ages 50 and older who report having regular family dinners. … Eating family meals together correlates with all sorts of positive trends. For example, the 2025 World Happiness Report finds that meal-sharing is linked with social connectedness and subjective well-being. Furthermore, children of families who eat together tend to have fewer behavioral problems and higher literacy rates.” (08/07/25)
