TV Over Table Talk? Two-Thirds of Us Watch While Eating Dinner 📺🍽️
Once upon a time, dinner was a moment to connect with family and friends—but these days, it’s more about catching up on Netflix than catching up with each other.
A new poll found that 63% of people watch TV while eating dinner, while only 41% actually talk to the people they’re dining with.
But TV isn’t the only distraction at the dinner table:
📱 28% scroll their phones
🎶 16% listen to music
📖 8% read
📞 6% make calls
🎮 6% even play video games!
🧹 3% multitask with chores
Oh, and 1% of people eat dinner while driving (let’s hope they’re not also watching TV at the same time).

Despite all this, dinner remains our favourite meal of the day and the one we’re least likely to skip. And at least we’re taking our time with it—only 17% finish dinner in 10 minutes or less, compared to 44% who scarf down breakfast that fast.
So, are you guilty of screen-time suppers, or do you keep it old-school with actual conversation? 🍽️👀
