You can't have family values if you don't have family meals together."

Well, I dunno...you CAN it just means that eating meals isn't one of them! I prefer sit-down, family meals. But the occasional pizza in front of a movie is fantastic.
Perhaps having meals together aren't the *cause* but are rather an indicator of deeper family values. If you don't care about the family enough to get them together for regular meals together (where valuable sharing of life takes place), when will you show the concern and take the time to make that happen?
