What I found to be the most shocking was the amount of people eating alone (not that this is a bad thing). If you put it into a different context of what we are used to seeing while eating out it seems strange. If I were to go into a restaurant it would surprise me to see so many people eating by themselves, but if I were to go to a coffee shop I would think nothing of it. It is so interesting what we view as normal or abnormal.
What intrigued you?
What I found to be interesting was the fact that the majority of the college age kids seemed to be at a healthy weight but almost all of the older adults in the cafeteria were overweight. It would have been fascinating to go more in depth on this subject by exploring the food choices of the different generations but unfortunately there was not enough time to do that.
What disturbed you?
The lack of attention given to eating lunch was the thing that I found to be the most disturbing. People were on their phones and computers or watching tv the majority of the time they were eating. How did American's adopt this lifestyle of always multi-tasking? We always have to stay busy with something else and can never just be in the moment.
