HOME-COOKED MEALS:
Studies show that children eat more balanced meals, more vegetables and fewer fats when they eat home-cooked meals with their families, and they may form good eating habits that will stay with them a lifetime.
This also gives them a chance to observe and learn cooking skills they will be able to pass on to their own children. |
