We all have differing lifestyles, but for many of us dinner is particularly important because it is the only home-cooked meal of the day. It is usually consumed at home and we are able to control the quality and quantity of the food we eat and also take our time over the meal.
Parents can help their children to develop good eating habits by creating a pleasant environment where everyone sits comfortably at the family table, free of noisy distractions, such as a television set blaring in another room. Being able to devote proper attention to our food increases our enjoyment of it: we can appreciate that the food smells good, looks good and tastes good. Such an attitude to food develops with practice and by no means precludes animated conversation. By cultivating a good eating environment, we gradually learn such things as eating at a leisurely pace, chewing our food well, discarding meat fat, avoiding fish bones, and generally listening to our bodies so that we eat just what we need. And raisins in scooped-out tomato halves or on celery sticks. And steamed, cooked beans or asparagus seasoned with lemon and pepper are superb.
