family eating together Have you ever taken the time to stop and think about your Family Life Healthy Eating Plan?

As parents the demands of our hectic lifestyles with an active family it’s often easy to overlook providing nutritious meals that satisfy everyone’s needs and taste buds.

Family meals are a time for getting together and sharing these special moments and to talk about your plans as a family. My teenager’s meal barely touches the sides in his eagerness to complete the meal… our conversations at meal times can be compared to ’speed dating’…. and I assure you it’s not from lack of trying.

Is your family get together at meals a time of the past?

Only 54 percent of Americans eat a meal at the table with their families “most days.”
A recent survey shows….
65 percent eat alone a few days a week or more.
One-third eat out at least a few days a week,
61 percent eat out a minimum once a week.
