"Spend as much time enjoying the meal as it took to prepare it."

Honor the cook (even if it's you!) for the care he or she has put into preparing your meal by slowing down and savoring your food.  I know that in my house, it can be frustrating at times to have carved out the time to prepare dinner, only to have everyone finish their meal in 5 minutes and rush from the table to head back to their phones or computers.  The time it takes to prepare the meal would be so much more satisfying if we spent the same amount of time enjoying it together.

All the tips given for the 28 Days of Real Food Challenge were compiled from "Food Rules", by Michael Pollan.
