Hi Tara!
Interesting article! At our house, my husband and I always set the table before we eat for every meal, with placemats, attractive dishes, folded napkins, appropriate silverware including salad forks. Dishes of food always have serving utensils in them. It looks pretty and is relaxing and makes you want to eat and enjoy the food. We also eat at about the same time every day at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It makes eating a pleasure and takes away the desire to want to overeat.
