The let's fix dinner™ Stouffer's™ Blogger Roundtable was a forum that invited influential bloggers and
topical experts to start an ongoing conversation about dinner in America. Whether you live by yourself,
with a spouse, or with children, you're likely eating dinner less regularly at home with your "family"
than you did as a child. So, what happened to dinner? At the let's fix dinner™ Blogger Roundtable, we
explored why dinner has become de-valued. We looked at the barriers to families eating together and
shared suggestions for how we can break down these barriers.
We invited Bloggers who represented a variety of backgrounds, but all who related to the challenge of
how to put dinner on the table nightly. The Experts that participated had a variety of credentials – from
time management experts to nutritionists to researchers who've scientifically proven the benefits of
eating dinner together as a family.
Our Bloggers were encouraged to engage their readers in the dinner conversation, and we still encourage
them to continue the dialogue. Visit their own personal blogs and follow them on Twitter to keep the dinner
conversation going!
