Studies show that children who have family mealtimes at least 3 times per week are 25% more likely to eat healthy foods and 25% less likely to develop an eating disorder.

Research shows that kids who have family mealtimes 5 times a week 40% of those kids get A's and B's. Teens had decreased substance abuse and made better decisions about peer relationships.
One more:
