Not just food, but not just food! Taste preferences and attitudes towards food in people today - in our time.
Social media also plays an important role - photos of food are probably some of the most shared on social media in recent years. They add extra value to food - we don't just eat, we broadcast that we feel good, that we have money, opportunities, good taste, and in this way we get approval, recognition and feel that we exist and the world pays attention to us.

It can be a form of self-care through spending money - when we spend money, we feel that our efforts are justified. According to scientific research, family lunches and dinners can strengthen a couple's relationship and serve as a defense for teens during times of emotional difficulty. Therefore, investing in similar taste preferences and the desire for all family members to sit at the same table is important. When we enjoy good food and feel pleasure and relaxation, we are less stressed, which helps strengthen relationships. This cycle - a good first impression, a reward system, a desire to repeat a positive experience - helps cement the habit of eating together, talking and relaxing with family. Regarding happy couples, my opinion is that they often share the same taste preferences in food. Perhaps this is because pleasurable taste experiences create positive emotions, and discussing and planning
