This chapter offers a comprehensive analysis of the historical, cultural, biological, and psychological dimensions of eating together, while examining the impact of growing individualization in modern societies on traditional table culture. It argues that communal meals are not merely nutritional practices but function as multilayered social institutions that nurture familial closeness, strengthen social cohesion, and preserve cultural continuity. Contemporary lifestyle patterns such as fast-paced living, fast food consumption, mall-centered eating habits, and digital distraction have progressively weakened the spiritual, cultural, and communal aspects of eating. Scientific research, however, demonstrates that shared meals increase microbiota similarity, regulate stress-related hormones, enhance psychological well-being, and improve family communication. Principles derived from the Prophetic tradition (sunnah) regarding food etiquette provide a meaningful framework for revitalizing communal values, fostering generosity and gratitude, and reinforcing social bonds. By highlighting the biological, emotional, and cultural costs of eating alone, this chapter underscores the role of communal dining as a restorative human practice capable of countering alienation, rebuilding social solidarity, and fostering holistic well-being.
