With 3 young children, my wife and I sometimes find it hard to get everyone sitting down and eating at the same time. This domestic challenge got me thinking about the nutritional value of eating together as a family, which seems to be a vanishing custom, especially among adolescents. The results of the study suggest that kids who forgo the fast food and soda to eat with their families really do have better-quality diets.
