A family sharing a relaxing meal together sounds wonderful but fast lane living doesn't often allow for this. We live varied and busy lives.
Family members come and go at all hours of the day, including mealtime.
There is nothing wrong with this style of eating - occasionally. But over time, if convenience and fast foods, are eaten too often, your family will be eating more fat and salt and less fibre and essential nutrients than they need. Therefore it's important for your family to enjoy nutritionally balanced meals most of the time. That means eating meals which include a wide variety of grain products, vegetables, fruit, milk products, lean meats and meat alternatives such as eggs, dried peas, beans, and lentils. One of the biggest suppertime challenges is simply deciding what's for supper.
