Summary: She's right on...
Review: With her assessment that the time honored tradtion of family mealtime is going by the wayside. This book is a light read, warm and motivating at the same time. She offers ideas and memeories all designed to help restore the family tradtion of eating together. And while I do believe she's right on, that as a society we'd be better off if we implemented some of her ideas, there simply wasn't enough there to fill a book. There's little information offered on nutrition, actual food prepreation tips, avoiding TV during the dinner hour, how to's on controlling cranky toddlers, etc. There wasn't enough REAL information. I appreciate the fact that she wrote the book, our society today needs it!
