Why family Should Eat Together

I was at Dusit Thani Hotel today past 8am already. I will attend a talk on family togetherness during meal time.

There are also other speakers who talked about child health and nutrition, rabies and the importance of rotavirus vaccine.

Anyway, here are the notes I had taken down
