Eating habits

Hortwiz found that a large number of people are used to eat alone instead of eating with family and colleagues around a big table. Eating in front of the computer, eating at class and even eating hurriedly in the street are very common at present, while eating as a group becomes rarer and rarer. So he considers the eating habit of people now as “eating on the edge”. Hortwiz starts his analysis with the representative instance of soup. In the past, people liked to have soup with a big pot since many people ate together and shared the same soup. Nonetheless, many manufacturers now serve out the soup into single-serving packages because of the trend of eating alone and eating at different places. Ordering food for one person, people do not have to care about others’ taste any more since all the things they need to do are ordering whatever they like and take away the food. Also, the size of the packages is exactly fit many car’s cup holder. The portability of the new packaged soup makes it popular among numerous people, encouraging them to eat at different places they like. Moreover, he mentioned the eating habit of crews in space flight. It is common to see some of them eating food when working at computers. Therefore, many astronauts prefer eating on the run and eating alternatively. Another eating habit mentioned in the article is eating in timeless time. Numerous people do not follow the normal eating schedule; they eat whenever they like. It is common for many university students as well. University student are always in a rush heading for classes. So they usually order some food during the break between the classes and take away them to class and dorm; some may even eat when they are walking. My friends and I always have class during the lunch time, so we have to eat lunch after 2 p.m. However, we still like to eat together. We chat a lot when eating together, sharing our happiness and strengthening our friendship. Chatting with friends at dinner will effectively relax me after studying for a whole day.
