Photographer Shows How Different Dinnertime Looks Across The USA

Colette Bembenek 8 years ago

De eternal optimist. I see justification thru the aging process, but in this era, they're looked upon as a 'useless comodity.' I read too much most likely. But the seniors are lookin' at a not so 'happy, happy' atmosphere, lifestyle, loss of civil liberty as near quality of anti-anxiety leers behind their chairs; unseen. In a dystopian society, surely encompassing soylent green.

I know you guys are all being kind, and that is very sweet, but I think assuming she is lonely is a mistake. I am alone by choice and often eat alone, and I know many other people who are the same. Being alone is not always the same as being lonely. I've been married twice and was more lonely during those marriages than I have ever been when I am on my own. Some of us just prefer our own companionship.

Yes, CelSlade, I've known other folks that are just like yourself. Be you, be the best "you" you can be, but don't forger to smile as often as you can. Having lived alone before, it's the best way to be. ;-D

What I see is an intact family that sits down to dinner together. They have a beautiful home, dining room with large table that the family seems to be proud of. The expressions show they are uncertain or irritated with why this picture needs to interrupt their dinner, yet I do see little side smiles, smirks, etc... on some faces. They have stopped passing the food around for all to have their plates filled yet. It seems like a traditional family having dinner. Many with or without money attempt to achieve the unity of family getting together for at least dinner time after busy days. This family seems to have made it a point to do just that without the interruptions of electronic gadgets to interfere with real conversation they will have. Parents seem to have taught their children well how to respect family dinners as an important part of their day.

You know why he's he looks sour Nancy? He has to eat salad. Someone stole his bow. Nathaniel can still hunt with a Bowie knife, but doesn't feel like it today. I'd visit this guy, bring in a quartered deer, fill that hollowed horn with cheap tequila, and we'd have a good time sharing war stories. And you thought the horn was decoration.

Growing up with a single mother that worked her butt off, our meals looked a lot like this. We didn't have a dining room table because that was money that needed to go towards food or electric. We ate in front of the TV and on the floor. I grew up eating hamburger Helper and watching Friends at dinner. And guess what..? My mom and I are as close as two people can be. I grew up in a wonderful loving home with a kick a*s mom. We have a dining room table now and a much better financial situation in general. Don't judge based on one glimpse into their lives.

My son and I do different things while we eat- he is usually playing a video game, and I'm on the computer. But we're in the same room, we talk to each other, he asks me to watch something he's doing, I ask him to come see a video I'm watching, there is a closeness because we're together, sharing in each other's lives. When we go out to a restaurant, we sit and talk, but at home it's comfortable.

WOW what a negative vibe that pictures gives off. As in, domestic violence negative.

That chair. In the kitchen, and partly blocking the doorway. With him in it. She looks trapped.

Way to read between the pixels guys. This if anything feels like a typical and natural picture. Captured in the midst of a conversation about her day at work or grocery supplies.

THANK YOU Jay Raman! Good God every single photo has comments from people about how sad people are and how "this picture makes me feel sad..." Jesus people, they're just photos of people from a second snap in time. You have no idea what's going on with these strangers and you're creating all kinds of stories around them. It's insane. My God, how can you create a whole story from one split second of a facial expression? From an arrangement of a room? How would someone interpret your life from your dining room? I'd be willing to bet some of the things you're judging these people so harshly on are in your own lives at this moment. The monster in the room is often the one who looks the most normal unfortunately. One can NEVER tell from appearances what lies beneath the surface. Never.

Most of these photos are sad and depressing. Many alone, lots of pills, lots of pre pkg meals. Many not eating at a table or together in same room. The pictures portray dark and gloomy looking meal times. My childhood memories were loud, everyone talking and lots of laughing. Perhaps not the fine manners some think a meal should be but it was catching up on everyone's day and family time together. Miss those days!

I think that for some reason this is the aesthetic the photographer was going for. A lot of these pics are much too dark considering the light sources - the levels have clearly been adjusted. Far too few people are smiling - statistically you would expect more smiles than not. In some you can actually see the younger kids fight not to smile. I'm sure they were told not to. As for what they eat - let people live! Everyone's preferences and circumstances are not the same. Nor can you say that one photo of one night is representative of what they eat all the time. On any given night I might make a tuna sandwich, roast chicken with veg, or take away pizza. Life is variable that way.

Most parents have to work now and can't stay home to cook. They don't even teach it in public schools here any more.

Totally agree. Diversity would have been nice also. Spanish, Blacks and Asians have fathers also and form a Family unit. I would have liked to have seen a father cooking because my father prepared our meals and worked a full time job. My mom could not cook.

Supper time ain't what it used ta be. Despite the relative affluence displayed in most of the photos, almost everyone looks a little forlorn. Was also expecting to see some homeless folk eating from garbage cans, that would-a shown a different side to the whole subject.
