  1. The new eating habits in Italy in the '90 • Exodus from the countryside, • Emancipation of women and the job outside the home for most of them • The decline of heavy work, led to a strong change of the alimentary styles. • People have many snacks during the day, the midday meal, with the whole family gathered around the table is less frequent. • The main meal of the day is no longer lunch but the dinner, because, especially in large cities, rarely one goes home for lunch, but makes a brief interval at the bar, fast food or canteen.

  2. Consequence of this style of life is the increase in consumption outside the home, there is a large demand for a "take away" meal ready to  buy and bring home also the evening, when the women  come back from work too tired to cook. • The markets have multiplied the products already prepared, ranging from sauces, frozen pizzas, pasta ready to put in microwave or in a pan.

  3. Today the Italian population no longer works in order to feed itself as it happened until after World War II, a life most times made of hardships and sacrifices marked by malnutrition and diseases, during which the possibility to make a complete meal every day was seen like a dream.

  5. Breakfast is mainly consumed at home (87%), although many 23% prefer to go to bars (In this case, the classic combination is cappuccino (or espresso) and cornetto (brioche or other).
