We don’t remember the things we buy, but we remember the food we eat, and whom we eat it with. This is especially true of family meals. Unfortunately, in the United States we have gotten away from cooking meals at home and now tend to eat more for flavor and convenience.

Some may say that they are just working long, hard hours and don’t have time to go to the gym or cook a healthy homemade meal. Yes, no one can argue that most people are working harder and longer, but we can ask whether people are working smarter and more efficiently?
