Teenagers who turn off the TV and sit down to family meals are less likely to suffer eating disorders(失调).
A study has connected eating together with lower rates of bulimia(暴食症) and anorexia(厌食症). Teens used to eating around the table are less likely to take up smoking to lose weight.
Researcher Barbara said, “The common belief is that teens don’t want to be around their parents very much, and that teens are just too busy to have regular meals with the family.”
The study shows happy families have teenagers who eat with their parents often. These teens have less bad diet or dangerous eating habits.
“Parents may not be able to get their family together around the table seven days a week, but if they can prepare three family meals a week, this will have a big impact on the health of teens,” Professor Fiese spoke out after reviewing 17 studies on eating ways and nutrition(营养) of almost 200,000 children and teenagers.
She found that teens who eat at least five meals a week with their families are 35% less likely to be “disordered eaters”.
The definition(定义) of disordered eating is eating too much, or eating at wrong times too often or eating very little and smoking to lose weight.
Even three family meals a week helped, with youngsters 12% less likely to be overweight than those who ate with their family less often.
Teens can also use family meals as a time to get their thoughts across. They were also 24% more likely to eat healthy foods and have healthy eating habits than those who didn’t share three meals with their family.
Professor Fiese said, “Family meals give them a place where they can go regularly to check in with their parents and express themselves freely.”
In the past American research found children who miss out on family meals are much more likely to fight at school, drink and take drugs(毒品).

I hurried into the store to get Christmas gifts. Suddenly, I saw a little boy holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair. I watched him turn to a woman and say, “Are you sure I don’t have enough money?” She said yes and told the boy not to go anywhere before she came back. Then she left.
The boy continued to hold the doll. I asked the boy who the doll was for. He said, “It’s the doll that my sister wanted so badly for Christmas. She just knew that Santa would bring it.” I told him that Santa was going to bring it. He said, “No, Santa can’t go where my sister is. I have to give the doll to my mom to take it to her.”
I asked him where his sister was. He looked at me sadly and said, “She’s gone to heaven. My daddy said that Mom was going to be there with her.” My heart nearly stopped beating. Then the boy said, “I told my daddy to tell her not to go there until I got back.” He took out some pictures of him and said, “I want my mom to take these with her so she’ll never forget me. I love my mom so much that I wish she didn’t have to leave me, but Daddy said that she needed to be with my sister.”
The boy lowered his head. While he was not looking, I reached into my purse and asked him, “Shall we count that money again?” He grew excited and said, “Yes, I just know it has to be enough.” So I put my money with his and we began to count it. He said, “Thank you for giving me enough money.” He continued, “I just asked God to give me enough money to buy this doll, and he heard my prayer.”
Soon the woman came back and I left. I remembered a story I had read in the newspaper several days earlier about a drunk driver who hit a car. A little girl was killed and her mother was in serious condition. Two days later, I read the news that the mother had died.

Adult(成年的)drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmers are music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or a tape which radio stations use in many places.
