CELEBRATE FAMILY MEALS:
EAT BETTER—EAT TOGETHER MONTH
Families across the United States are encouraged to come together for meals as part of Eat Better—Eat Together Month, an initiative aimed at fostering healthier eating habits and strengthening family bonds. The Wheat Foods Council champions the event along with other public health organizations. Its goal is to highlight shared meals' benefits in promoting physical and emotional well-being, empowering families to take control of their health.
Eat Better—Eat Together Month raises awareness of the positive impact that regular family meals can have on individuals, particularly children and adolescents. Research has shown that families who eat together have better nutritional habits, including increased consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Moreover, shared meals allow family members to connect, communicate, and build stronger relationships.
This month, families are encouraged to make time for shared meals, whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The initiative also emphasizes the importance of involving all family members in meal planning and preparation, which can help children better understand healthy eating and foster a sense of teamwork and responsibility.
In addition to promoting healthier eating habits, Eat Better—Eat Together Month serves as a reminder of the importance of family time in today's busy world. By prioritizing shared meals, families can create meaningful moments of connection, support, and enjoyment, making a lasting impact on their overall well-being and reinforcing the value of family time.
