“Suppertainment” is the phrase created for the current major trend that reflects the number of people who eat in front of the computer,TV or game controller.Single men are the majority leading this trend,with 60 percent of them spending mealtimes entertaining themselves with something.However,40 percent of mothers and 30 percent of students also eat meals while being on the PC or laptop several times a week.
Boyd Hilton,TV and reviews editor of Heat magazine says,“Setting yourself up in front of the TV to ‘suppertain’ comes naturally,especially when you’ve been busy all day.If I’m on my own I always tend to make a quick and easy meal and settle down to watch something entertaining or I’ll get on the laptop and catch up with comedies like the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm on More 4 or Outnumbered on BBC 1.”
“I think it’s such a bonus that healthy and tasty convenience meals now mean you can relax about eating good food without having to worry about preparation time.”
