“Significant associations were found between positive family- and parent-level interpersonal dynamics (i.e., warmth, group enjoyment, parental positive reinforcement) at family meals and reduced risk of childhood overweight.” See the study at http://goo.gl/4Dl61t and start eating with your family. But have meaningful conversations, and turn the TV off during meals.
