Unfortunately, many families of today are beset by odd work hours and overscheduling and cannot eat together regularly.

At the bare minimum, a 14 year-old should be aware that eating chips and drinking Coke while texting is hazardous to their health, that 3500 calories have to be burned in order to lose one pound and that a 10 oz bag of Lays has 1500 calories.

And yes, I’ve seen kids eat this in one sitting, waiting for a ride while texting (not my kid, lol)!
