Why is the Family Meal Disappearing in the United States?
このQ&Aのポイント
In the United States, the tradition of the family meal is slowly fading away.
Busy schedules, kids' sports activities, and tired parents are some of the reasons why sit-down meals are becoming rare.
However, research consistently shows that having meals together as a family has numerous benefits for both adults and children.

How and why did the family meel start to disappear in the United States?
My friends in the United States have various explanations about this.
Parents and children lead busy lives and there just isn't time for a sit-down meal.
Kids'sports schedules run on into dinner hour.
After a long day at work,parents are too tired to cook.
Teenagers are off on their own after school.
Yet study after study shows that having meals together as a family is good for both adults and children.
A University of Michigan study found that mealtime at home was the single strongest factor predicting better achievement scores and fewer behavioral problems for children.
Mealtime was far more powerful than time spent in school,studying,worshiping,playing sports or doing arts activities.
Other studies show that children like family meals.
In one report,nearly four-fifths of adolescents cited eating dinner at home as one of their top-rated family activities.
In a national YMCA poll in 2000,when teenagers were asked about their worries,21 percent rated“not having enough time with parents”as their top concern.
