There are changing trends that are occurring globally in how people eat. This is one of the results of the modern way of living. More and more households are experiencing a two-parent income; this makes meal time harder than ever to get together. Italy is no exception to the rule of change. Traditional Italian eating habits are changing due this new lifestyle.
Seafood, vegetables, meat, fruits, olive oil and beans all make up the sophisticated meals of the Mediterranean. Now, with more moms working outside of the home there is simply not enough time to prepare lavish meals. The previous generation of Italian women would customarily be the homemakers who took care of preparing these meals. This is no longer the case today.
Customary Italian ways of cooking have changed since more households are experiencing both parents working causing a drastic change in Italian eating habits. Meals need to be prepared as quickly and conveniently as possible in order to keep up with this lifestyle. This is where fast-food has begun to fill the gap. More moms are dependent on fast-foods, as well as pre-packaged items to help them facilitate their day to day activity. With little or no time for cooking elaborate meals, these become a working-mom's best friend.
Most small Italian towns have yet to see the rise in these franchises, but visit any large city and you are bound to see a number of fast-food restaurants. Now, one of healthiest nations in the world is being faced with the decision over fast-food, or the decision to take the time to prepare traditional meals.
The transition of more women into the workforce has shifted the way families are getting their meals. Traditional, slow-cooked meals are more of a hassle to prepare for a working woman and convenience foods are tempting. This often works to condense the two main meals most Italians previously enjoyed.
Most of these main meals consisted of meats, but the meat is usually not the focus of the meal. This helps reduce the bad cholesterol in each meal. Traditionally, meals are also served in courses. This facilitates a relaxed atmosphere with more time for enjoying the meal. This in itself helps reduce stress levels!
Now, the need for speed and convenience has changed all of this. Typically, fast-food meals will concentrate on a meat. This increases the bad cholesterol in the meal. There are no courses in a fast food meal, which often leads to a quick meal both in preparation and consumption. This all falls into play as the result of modern living on Italian eating habits.
