The researchers found that when families sit down together, adolescents and young adults eat more fruits and veggies and consume fewer fast-food and takeout items.
I wonder if anyone like my mother was in this study. I was lucky if we got mashed potato, tinned peas and devon (like bologna? I think. but less smoked.) on few but lucky occasions I got some minced beef and gravy, too. Often we had chips because she couldn't be bothered to make even potatoes. Somedays, seemingly to spite me, she mashed pumpkin in the mash which was about the only vegetable I wouldn't eat. that and beans (green beans) I hate pumpkin and beans... We didn't really eat any other kind of vege unless it was in a burger or in a stew my nan sent over or something.
There was also a lot of days when it was just devon and sauce or cheese...
By the time I was twelve if I wanted more than noodles I had to cook it myself generally unless mum was in a very good mood.
I know antedotes don't entirely disprove anything ever but still...
