The family is the primary community in which we grow up and learn fundamental social values. The influence of the family on the development of the child is indisputable. The family affects not only on development of the child, but also all members of that community. They learn and develop together. Although the family has changed over time and today we can speak of a traditional and modern family, it has still retained its core values and purpose. We can observe it from different aspects, economic, social, spiritual. For marketing, it plays a big role as a consumer entity. The amount of food consumed daily will always exceed the amount of food an individual buys. The point where one family begins and where it ends is very blurred. The children are leaving, creating their own family, but they still belong to the family they left. This is important because of the impact that family members have on each other. It does not end, it develops. The trust that is created among family members grows over time, as does addiction. As the family evolved from traditional to modern, so did nutrition. The time when the family only prepared local food is currently behind us. We are surrounded by a large selection of new products, food and meal preparation ideas. The younger generations with their modern lifestyle influence the older generations and combine the benefits of new knowledge and experience. Family meal is something that connects and unites us, makes differences and affects our daily lifestyles.
