Save a Life With Family Dinners

ABC News reports that Mark Zuckerberg's of Facebook fame came up with his latest idea of using Facebook's "health and wellness" section to include a status and discussion of organ donation over conversations at the dinner table with his girlfriend who is a student in medical school.  So family dinners are MORE important than Facebook!  I found statements from his interview reminding all of us just how important family dinners are:  "Facebook is really about communicating and telling stories..." and that is what makes family dinners vital to a family's well-being and a nation's health.  "We want to make it simple."  Putting dinner on the table has never in history been more simple to do with all the short cut, cost savings and buying/cooking in quantiy opportunities.  "More than 112,000 Americans are awaiting organs..."  How many Americans do you think are out there that are awaiting a loving family meal?  The article describes Zuckerberg as "...lighting up when talking about the dinnertime chats he had with his girlfriend."  That is precisely what has happend to family and friends throughout history while breaking bread. And notice, this idea did not come about while eating out at a restaurant.  It happend over the dinner table.    The importance of hearth and home which is more cosy, private and relaxing.  So maybe to better market family dinnertime- let's call it FACETIME!
