Heatlhy food starts at home

We like to focus on the healthy food in schools issue here, but we can't loose sight of the larger picture. Lifehacker links to some common sense wisdom: Eat at home, improve your grades

• Families usually save money
• Children's school performance improves
• Children develop a stronger sense of belonging
• Children often have less behavioural problems
• Family communication can improve

Mealtime encourages conversation and interaction around the dinner table, which improves a child’s vocabulary and communication skills. This leads to better performance in school and fewer behavioural problems.

City living, two jobs, two schools, so many take out options... it's a struggle to pull off the home cooked family meal. Good to affirm that it really is important.
