Dr. Murthy’s public advisory underscores the grave health implications of social isolation, linking it to increased risks of heart disease, stroke, anxiety, depression, dementia, and even susceptibility to viral and respiratory illnesses. Notably, he highlights that frequent phone use during face-to-face interactions erodes conversation quality and diminishes in-person enjoyment.
Supported by major industry leaders, including Hy-Vee supermarkets, Acosta Group, FMI: The Food Industry Association, and the Association of Retail and Consumer Professionals, Food Not Phones is spearheaded by Phil Lempert and the SupermarketGuru team. It encourages individuals, families, and organizations to embrace the joy of mealtimes and the enriching conversations that they facilitate.
Phil Lempert said in a statement, “We believe in the potential of mealtimes to rekindle meaningful relationships and inspire genuine interactions. Through this initiative, we aim to reshape the narrative around food and technology, helping us recognize the value of shared moments over screens.”
“More than 35 years of research and thousands of studies from around the globe document that family meals (no matter how you define “family”) are advantageous for both physical and mental health. Beyond these benefits, it has been shown time and again that family meals improve family functioning – family connectedness, communication, expressiveness, and problem-solving,” added David Fikes, Executive Director of the FMI Foundation and Creators and Stewards of The Family Meals Movement.
“ARC embraces the Food Not Phones movement wholeheartedly! We are excited to inspire a positive shift towards a more present and engaged dining experience for everyone we serve. By putting down our phones and engaging in face-to-face conversations, we not only savor the flavors of our meals but also the special moments that truly matter – the joy of shared experiences, the warmth of laughter, and the magic revealed at the dinner table.” Emily Callahan, President of the Association of Retail and Consumer Professionals added.
As part of the initiative’s commitment to raising awareness, Food Not Phones invites everyone to participate in designated events throughout the year, starting with the inaugural National Food Not Phones Day on September 19, 2023. This day, dedicated to celebrating the art of conversation and the joy of communal dining, will be a rallying point for individuals to share their mealtime stories using the hashtag #FoodNotPhones on social media.
Furthermore, Food Not Phones aligns itself with the Family Meals Initiative by FMI: The Food Industry Association, further solidifying its commitment to strengthening relationships through the simple act of sharing meals throughout the entire year.
Join #Food Not Phones in combating loneliness and isolation one meal at a time. Together, we can build a world where mealtimes are cherished opportunities to connect, share, and rekindle our most authentic selves.

Consistently recognized by both Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest growing privately-held companies in the U.S. and Staffing Industry Analyst (SIA) as one of the “Best Staffing Firms to Work For,” OneStaff walks that line between the “flexible start up” mentality and still offering the great office environment perks of some larger corporate “best places to work.” That private-ownership allows OneStaff the freedom to be nimble, in the best interest of their travelers and internal employees, while their size allows them the stability, facility partnerships and volume of assignments that the “big guys” have.
The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2,238 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 1,187,266 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”
“Being honored as one of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the U.S. for the 10th year in a row, is an honor that we’re extremely grateful for,” said COO Jason Avenell. “Our growth trajectory (528%) in the last few years has been challenging, in a good way. It’s a testimony to what can happen when you surround yourself with great talent, hard work, and inspiration to keep evolving.”

The AESP 2023 Summer Conference will bring together hundreds of professionals, including demand flexibility marketers, program managers, strategists and technology providers to discuss, collaborate and learn about innovative solutions in the clean energy industry.

Featuring Christie CineLife+™ electronics, this compact, all-in-one DCI-compliant projector excels in image quality and operational lifetime. Its impressive energy-saving efficiency leads to substantial cost savings and lower carbon emissions.

Perfect for screens up to 18 meters (58 feet) wide, the CP2415-Xe ensures long-lasting brightness and outstanding image performance while maintaining the lowest operating costs in its brightness class.
CineLife+ offers an intuitive UX interface for easy playback and content management. The newly integrated Electronic Color Convergence (ECC) feature ensures precise color alignment during projector setup, and integration with Christie Mystique™ Cinema enables seamless dual-projection alignment for large screens and immersive 4K 3D playback at 120fps.
