Food brings my family together .We all get involved in the preparation of the meal.
On most nights once dinner time rolls around no matter what we're doing everyone gathers around the table or the TV to enjoy a meal together. It was the same for my parents growing up, who always sat and ate around the table with their parents. When it comes to food in my family one rule goes: No wasting, because there are others starving. So we are always encouraged to eat all our food and be grateful for the meals we get to eat because there are others less fortunate. That was also the rule in my parents homes growing up.

I think that family has an effect on one's eating habits. My family are healthy eaters for the most part , with my mother incorporating vegetables in almost every meal. My siblings and I have always grow up liking and eating all of our vegetables. It was never a problem for my mom to try and force us to eat them since she's always made them. We're also a bunch of curious eaters who aren't afraid to try something new because my mom makes many dishes that are influenced by other cultures cuisine. I also prefer a home cooked meal over one that's bought because it's usually healthier and my mom likes to cook.
