X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>Discover the fascinating science behind wh
 y dining together does more than just fill our stomachs—it nurtures our min
 ds and bodies. According to a study published in the annual World Happiness
  Report\, “People who eat more meals with others tend to be more satisfied 
 with their lives and are more likely to express positive emotions.” The aut
 hors of the report indicate that “sharing meals is as predictive of happine
 ss as income or employment status — across ages\, genders\, countries\, cul
 tures\, and religions.” But the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ American Time U
 se Survey found that “Americans are spending more and more time dining apar
 t.” “In 2023\, roughly 1 in 4 Americans reported eating all of their meals 
 alone the previous day\,” the study said\, “an average increase of 53 perce
 nt since 2003.”</p><p>A doctoral student in public policy at Harvard Kenned
 y School and one of the co-writers of the report\, Micah Kaats\, will be pr
 esenting more about the findings from the report and unveiling the latest r
 esearch on dining with others. If you’re curious about happiness and well-b
 eing\, this presentation will offer some fascinating insights.</p><p>HUID h
