Scott and SadieDinner is a great time to connect with your kids and have actual conversations. But screw that . . . there’s too much good stuff to watch.
Around two-thirds of Americans say they usually watch TV while eating dinner now. 63% do, compared to 41% who talk to the people they’re eating with.
Watching TV isn’t the only thing we’re up to at dinner: 28% often use their phone . . . 16% listen to music . . . 8% read . . . 6% make phone calls . . . another 6% play video games while they’re eating . . . and 3% do chores. (???)
1% said they usually eat dinner while driving, or on their commute. 4% said the same about breakfast. We thought that breakfast number would be higher.
The poll found dinner is our favorite meal by far. It’s also the one we’re least likely to skip, and our LONGEST meal of the day.
Only 17% of Americans usually eat dinner in 10 minutes or less. That’s compared to 44% who eat breakfast that fast.
