We eat to live, that is right, but in our culture, we eat for pleasure too. I mean, in our country the moments we are eating have different sense in our minds depending on the relationship and the organization of each family, the traditions they have and also the educational behaviour of their components.
Don’t you remember when dinnertime was the best moment to meet all together, to discuss parents and children?
However we all know that now, many times we must adapt our way life to our job and we usually cannot do what would like to do, but sometimes that is our reality and instead of our preferences, we do not have another chance.
This long introduction is trying to be a complaint and, at the same time, perhaps an excuse to justify our bad habits about not eating healthy food. Unfortunately, the society is moving on more and more to worse ones because of our lack of time; usually that is what we hear, but the truth could be different: actually, that is faster and more convenient.
The traditional cooking, that our mothers or grandmothers used to do, takes time and dedication. Nowadays it is not a well-paid task, so therefore it is not a priority for the majority of the people, especially for some parents, those who think that it belongs to the school the roll to teach their children to eat healthy food. We should try to find the way to recuperate it, but it is not easy.
I want to apologize for being a little hard with my ideas but I am a teacher, and that is what I see day by day. I thought that maybe it was an option to demand attention. I am not going to change the world but I am conscious that we have to improve it.
