A Family Place

In a society where families are eating together less and less due to long commutes, after school activities, and long workdays; Fast food restaurants might be the solution. One might ask, why does it even matter if families eat together anyways? Well studies have proven that eating together as a family has many benefits. Eating dinner as a family helped kids get better grades, loose weight, and stay above the influence of alcohol, cigarettes, and other drugs. Well these family friendly fast food restaurants are a great place to eat with the family. A lot of families are unable to have family dinners because they are pressed for time, but the convenience of fast food makes it possible. Also kids are more willing to eat with family if at a fast food restaurant since they enjoy the food and it’s a more exciting environment. Certain fast food areas such as McDonald's,  Burger King, and Chick-fil-a restaurants have play areas where kids have a safe enclosed environment to play and release their youthful energy, while still under parental supervision. These fast food joints also provide a hangout spot for adolescents and teens, since they grant free Wi-Fi and have booths where they can talk and hangout. Another benefit to eating with family at fast food restaurants is that parents can teach kids the importance of making healthy eating choices even at fast food restaurants. Family time is very important and is essential to healthy living. Which is why fast food restaurants, who make it easier for families to sit down and spend time together , are a blessing.
