Dinner bell tolls

  • By CompiledJoshua S. Burek Stephanie Cook, and Judy Lowe

Sixty-nine percent of American families eat together at least five times a week, according to a Kraft Foods survey. But respondents saw areas for improvement:

*More time is spent preparing the meal than eating together.

*Many admitted that meals aren't planned ahead of time.

*Ninety-four percent of dinner menus are dictated by the kids.

*More than 50 percent of families would like to spend more time eating together.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
