I remember as a teenager watching one of those "The more you know" commercials, on NBC. It was a about the importance of eating dinner at the table as a family. I read once that family's who eat dinner at the table on a regular basis have a lower risk of weight problems, whether it is was obesity or anorexia. I believe that is so true. Think about how much more you eat when you are watching t.v., zone out, and don't pay attention to your food intake. I have personally consumed an entire bag of Cheetos, family sized of course, completely oblivious, whilst watching a movie. Conversely, food ingestion is lighter when you are at the table with your family laughing and talking while eating. Food for thought, fat free and zero calories too.
