title: Changing circumstances for accepting of behavioral patterns in connection with food preparation.
abstract: Food habits in a family are the results of many factors, e.g. the local traditions, availability of food, economic, social and cultural situation, and many others depending on the particular environment. Key role in this respect in the family have women, especially mothers. The transmission of the experiences on the choice and preparation of daily meals, their characteristic, frequency of their intake is also a result of previous generation of mothers, i.e. grandmothers. However, this situation has started to vary during more recent period of time according to the global changes in lifestyle. This resulted especially from the economic development and changing social situation. The analysis of this situation, when the role of mother and family declines, in the transmission of food choice and habits will be presented.
