"As a result of my insisting on the ritual of the family dinner, Monday through Friday, I was reaping the benefits with my teenage daughters. It's easy for some children to slip through the cracks, but it's harder when you see each other face-to-face at the table." [4:00]
"If you don't make the food, you don't know what's in it!" [5:30]
