[quote=Anonymous]We ate together, because it worked logistically, but the times were fairly flexible. We snacked whenever we wanted. Daily food was about sustenance, not some fancy production with expensive silverware and napkins. (Which we did have, but only used around holidays and on special occasions.) I didn't then and don't know have any defined emotions about sitting down at the table. It's a functional thing, not the quality time it is for some people. Quality time for me has little to do with food. I do enjoy holiday meals, however. I think the research around family dinners is bogus. I simply don't see how you can clearly demonstrate causation in this instance. I believe too many American middle class whites are worship the Oprah-like subculture that tells them which napkins will save their kids from all life's troubles :-)[/quote]
