I think as a culture we socialize too much around food. People meet, date, celebrate, have family get-togethers around lunches and dinners. I think we need a cultural shift where we socialize around doing something together.
- dragonwriter 12y agoEating is doing something. And its one of the things that everybody does.
- septerr 12y agoWell, by doing I meant physical/mental group activities. Games, sports, building something, learning something new etc.
- squintychino 12y agoI think the point here is that eating does not require a social component. Food does not taste better by virtue of having another person present.
- biot 12y agoNo matter what you socialize around, after about four hours or so it will be hard to avoid bringing food into it somehow. Hungry, irritable people don't make for the best social companions.
