[R] getting names of dimnames of xtabs into xtable latex output

In R, the output of xtabs displays the names of the dimnames.  In the
example below, these are "change_diet" and "mydiet". Is there a way to
have xtable incorporate these names directly into the latex output.
Thanks for your help.

table2 <- structure(c(26, 0, 40, 0, 10, 0, 188, 0, 281, 0), .Dim = c(5L,
2L), .Dimnames = structure(list(change_diet = c("Don't know",
"Somewhat likely", "Somewhat unlikely", "Very likely", "Very unlikely"
), mydiet = c("0", "1")), .Names = c("change_diet", "mydiet"
)), class = c("xtabs", "table"))
table2


library(xtable)
xtable(table2)
