Results from the latest poll carried out by The Co-operative Magazine have revealed that nearly all of respondents – 94 per cent– believe that sitting down together as a family at meal times is
important.
The question – Do you think it’s important for the family to sit down and eat meals
together? – was asked online and received an almost unanimous ‘yes’: a rare and
resounding majority from the loyal readership.
Research has found that those children who sit down to eat with their families at
meal times are much less likely to be overweight or to experience weight
likely to follow a healthy and balanced diet full of fruit and vegetables.
The Co-operative Magazine serves a large online readership with daily news and
features on the latest health and nutrition topics, family issues, travel and
leisure, and much more. It also provides hints and tips on choosing healthy meal
ideas, how to cook Italian food, and ways to keep kids healthy and happy.
New poll questions are regularly available to answer online in all sections of the
online magazine, from travel and leisure, health and wellbeing, and food and drink,
to family and finance, ethical living, and house and home. Readers are encouraged to
read the news and features, listen to the podcasts, and leave their comments and
helpful hints for fellow readers to benefit from – the magazine aims to be
informative, interesting, visually attractive and interactive.
