Putting Family Dinner First

Date: 9/21/2014
Time:  1:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Type: Personal (lifestyle/achievements)

Ding. Ding. Ding. The dinner bell rings and the family rushes to the dinner table to gather for a well-rounded meal together. This concept might seem foreign to some. There was a time when eating a family meal together was a priority and no one was excused from missing a meal together with the family, no matter what the reason. How times have changed! Today’s fast-paced lifestyle affects one of the most important family values we hold in America, and eating together as a family goes to the wayside. Dietitian assistant Jolene O’Gorman will share the leading reasons why it’s important to bring this pastime to your dinner table today and ways to make this important event a simple one.
