Eating Patterns, Dietary Quality and Obesity (2001, background): “Increased frequency of participation in the family dinner was associated with higher consumption of fruits and vegetables, fiber, folate, calcium, iron and vitamins B-6, B-12, C and E, lower consumption of saturated and trans fatty acids, soda and fried foods, and a decreased glycemic load [71].”
Creating healthy food and eating environments: policy and environmental approaches. (2008, background): “Research suggests that family meal frequency may be positively associated with child and adolescent intake of several vitamins and minerals, fruits, vegetables, grains, and calcium-rich foods and fewer fried foods, SSBs, and saturated and trans fat (34, 71).”
Influence of parental attitudes in the development of children eating behaviour (2008, background): “For example in some study fruit and vegetable consumption is higher in children((20)) and adolescents((21)) who eat at the same time as their parents and in pre-schoolers who eat the same food at mealtimes which further supports this view.”
A systematic review of environmental correlates of obesity-related dietary behaviors in youth. (2006, background): “Twenty-nine studies (37 samples) had children as the study population [16–44], and 27 (40 samples) included adolescents [45–71].”
Influences on adolescent eating patterns: the importance of family meals. (2003, background): “Past research indicates that when children do not eat family dinners, they are more likely to eat ready-made dinners that likely have lower nutritional quality [22].”
Parents are key players in the prevention and treatment of weight-related problems. (2004, background): “Increased frequency of a family dinner among 9- to 14-year-old children was associated with healthful dietary patterns.(58) Swarr and Richards reported that spending more time with parents was one of the factors that resulted in the healthiest eating attitudes.”
Victual Vicissitudes: Consumer Deskilling and the (Gendered) Transformation of Food Systems (2006, background): “The average family rarely sits down to eat together (Gillman et al., 2000; Neumark-Sztainer, 2003).”
