"Many of the things we claim to cherish-family relationships, cultural identity, ethnic diversity- were all intimately linked to the making and eating of food and now are changing as we outsource more and more of our food preparation to restaurants and industrial kitchens. Not only do we cook less than we used to, but more of us eat alone- at our desks, in our cars, standing at our kitchen counters. In America, the average family shares a meal fewer than five times a week."
-Paul Roberts, The End of Food
