Strong Families
Eat Together

When family members eat together, they do more than build strong bones. They also build strong bonds.
WVU Extension educators say that research continues to affirm the power of family mealtime. Eating together has positive influences on:
- family communications
- nutrition intake
- new and old family traditions
- childhood obesity
- character and social development
