Framily Meal Time
Hello and welcome to FramilyMealTime.org !
This site was inspired by the documentary movie Happy!
Research has shown that some of the happiest people in the world are those that live in close proximity of their families and get together regularly to share a meal and share life and thus provide an emotional support system for each other. Sadly, this is something that's almost impossible for people that live in big cities away from their real families. This absence of a support system often leaves a lot of city dwellers emotionally unfulfilled and lacking the simple joy that is often found when people live near their families.
The goal of the FramilyMealTime movement - #framilymealtime - is to get people in cities to get together as "Framilies" - families of friends, neighbors, even complete strangers and share a meal on a regular basis, share life and thus form that emotional support system... and hopefully, lead to an overall increased Gross National Happiness!!
For example, one could create a Meetup and find other framily-seeking people in their city - and create a Framily - consisting of maybe an senior couple with kids away in college, a married couple with kids, a few young adult working / college-going singles - then get together for a meal every other Friday, talk about life, work, school, love, fun! That's YOUR framily meal time!
