Family Meals Promote Good Eating Habits
 University of Minnesota researchers say kids that have at least five meals together with their families each week are more likely to have good eating habits. Adolescents who eat regular family meals have more healthful diets and eat more vegetables, calcium-rich foods, dietary fiber and essential nutrients. The researchers examined the eating habits of 677 youths through questionnaires they completed in their early teens and again five years later. The results were published in the March/April issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.
