Viral trend where couples choose to cook & eat meals seperately

At a time when more and more people are becoming health conscious, a new relationship and food trend is doing the rounds of social media. It is called food divorce. As the name suggests, a food divorce is a modern relationship trend where cohabiting couples choose to shop, cook and eat their meals independently rather than sharing them. Even though the name is dramatic, a food divorce does not mean a couple is breaking up or heading for a legal divorce. Instead, it is just a decision to stop turning dinner into a source of fight. The idea is to stop forcing shared mealtimes when different diets, schedules or food preferences come in the way. A key reason why this trend is gaining momentum is because of mismatched health goals in the couple. For example, one partner may be into strict gym routines with a fixed diet, while the other one may prefer takeaways. Another reason owing to the popularity of this trend is conflicting work schedules. For many, a food divorce is an easy way to reduce the mental load of deciding what to eat that fits the bill for both and as a result eliminates arguments over menu compromises. Furthermore, it may allow each partner to eat what works for the body, what works for them and prefer without any guilt or pressure. But health experts also warn that the trend may impact one's social connection over time.
