In The Absence of Dinner

   Almost every street that you drive by is cluttered with restaurants. With all of these packed restaurants does anyone eat with their family at home anymore?
   Eating out with your family isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least you are eating together right. No, eating out is not the problem with people's dinner habits. What bugs me is when families never eat together and when they do the T.V is on so everyone has to keep quiet.
   I believe the evening meal should be a social event with either friends or family, and occasionally both. You probably just spent the whole day either at work or at school and therefore away from your family. The evening meal is the perfect time to catch up with your friends in family and find out what happened in their day. Meals should be anything but quiet. In my opinion something is seriously wrong if you spend a whole meal in silence.
   Not only is a meal at home good for your social life but it's also quite good for your health. As long as you don't cook with a pound of butter most things you make at home are going to be better for you then things you would just pick up at some fast food place or even order at a restaurant for that matter. Home cooked meals just taste better especially when my parents make them.
   I understand that not all families have the opportunity to eat together at the same time, but when you can you defiantly should. I think you'll find that a meal together is a fun meal.

Random Information
Today I was listening to Weezer songs while writing this, but I got distracted by a music video with the muppets and Weezer. Oh, the joys of YouTube.
