| "Research shows that only about 60 percent of youth and parents in the U.S. eat dinner together five or more times a week," says Davis, contrasting this to her own experience of growing up in the 1950s when eating meals together every day was a normal part of life. But that's not the situation today. "Families are so busy, and have such hectic schedules, that having a meal together five or more times a week just doesn't happen very often," Davis notes-despite research showing that children who eat with their families do better in school, are at lower risk for substance abuse, and more socially adjusted. Concern about what's happening to families today led her to write Whatever Happened to Dinner? Recipes and Reflections for Family Mealtime. Through the book-which is part cookbook, part reflection on the changing role of dinner in our culture and part celebration of family and community-Davis invites people to eat together, even as she acknowledges the challenges of living in a culture that often pulls us apart.
