While visiting the California state Senate on Monday, Guy Fieri pushed for a resolution urging parents to prepare weekly meals with their children. 
Even though is is the host of Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, Fieri feels that microwave meals and fast food are taking the place of sit-down, home-cooked meals. The chef believes that if cooking became a shared activity, it would not only bring families closer, but encourage healthy eating habits in children.
Fieri said: 
"Let them stand there and work the saute pan, let them do the plate up, let them deliver it to the family. Start them off slow. Educate them as you go."
The resolution follows a 2008 initiative that Fieri helped draft to declare the second Saturday in May Cook With Your Kids Day.
Let's hope it catches on.
