Why Family Meals Matter: A Lunch & Learn with Ethnographer, June Jo Lee Thursday, October 29, 2026 (12:30pm - 1pm US/Eastern) Virtual

What does "family" mean in 2026? While official data shows family households dropped from 79% in 1974 to 64% today, census figures don't tell the full story. Modern families aren't just defined by bloodlines—they're defined by how families--chosen and otherwise--show up for one another.

Join us for an exclusive live Q&A exploring the FMI Foundation’s new white paper, Building Family: How American Family Life Is Changing and Why Family Meals Matter.

What You'll Learn:

- The Gen Z Shift: Why younger generations define family through shared actions rather than traditional structures.
- The Power of the Table: How cooking, gathering, and sharing meals serves as the anchor for modern connection.
- Field Insights: Behind-the-scenes findings from original ethnography, consumer trends, and demographic research.

This webinar is available for FMI Members & NonMembers.
