I love this topic. For most of the people here, raised in Anglo-Saxon culture, the idea of having a long lunch break is probably shocking as the expected notion is that the lunch break should only cover the time needed to eat. In many countries like France or Spain, the notion of lunch also entails the other aspect of eating: digestion as the act of getting fed doesn't stop once the food ends in your stomach. It still needs to be digested. For school kids, it's also an additional time to exercise their muscles by moving around after spending hours sitting down (which we all know now it's unhealthy).
