Where Do You Eat Dinner?

Many studies have been done on the importance and benefits of eating dinner together as a family with the tv off.  My family tries to sit down each night to eat dinner together - what about yours? 

Do you eat dinner in front of the tv? 

 At the dinner table?

At a restaurant?

On the go?

Where do you chow?

I'm usually on the couch in front of the laptop.

We sit at the table as a family. Once in a great while we have family night that we put a movie in and sit in the living room and we have finger type foods for dinner.

At the dinner table

we eat on the couch in front of the tv most nights. We do eat at the dinner table when it's clean. But most of the time, there are tons of papers piled on the table so we don't eat there. It's one of the things I'm working on....to get us to eat together at the dinner table.

Our dining room is too small to accomodate all of us... So I got a really cool kids table and they love to do their homework there as well as play or color... Most of the time I eat with them at the little table, but there are times I eat later than them... So I will sit by myself at the computer or on the couch...
At the table, but usually by myself.

At the table, though I think they'd all prefer to eat in front of the tube or just wolf it down as fast as possible!

I usually eat it in my papasan chair.

We eat at the kitchen table as a family 90% of the time. A family member may be excused from family mealtime for a good enough reason. Tomorrow my butt will be in front of the TV watching the season premiere of LOST and they better leave me alone. That's a good enough reason.

AT the TABLE always!

I wish my family ate together ... Unfortunately we just kind of eat where ever.

We eat at the table as a family sometimes, and then other times we munch in the living room if we are all watching a movie or something. It just depends on the night.

a variety really. We used to be just at the dinner table every night, but as our daughter has gotten older....we go out more & eat in the living room once in awhile...

We eat dinner at work 3 days a week, eat out a couple of days a week, and I usually eat at my computer the rest of the time.

We are boring and very predictable, We always eat in the dinning room as a family. Every meal except lunch.

Dinner at our house is,
sitting at the table, no tv on
and usually the radio set to "soundscapes"

We make it a point to eat in the kitchen at the kitchen table. People with poor eating habits tend to make associations with food and sedentary activities. If someone gets used to eating in front of the TV, and they watch a lot of TV, chances are they are going to eat more as a result. I do like to watch a good movie with a big bowl of popcorn, or snack with a favorite TV show, but I limit myself to once a week.

The most time we eat our dinner on the couch in front of tv. And we have someone here we would eat at the dinning table.
