Eating Habit is changing

         According to Horwitz’ article “Eating at the edge”, he use some of points to illustrate every body’s eating habit is changing now. In the past, almost people would like to eat with their family or friend, but nowadays, they prefer to eat along to replace eat with their family or friends. Their eating schedule is also changed. In the past, almost people like to eat with an accurate schedule, but now, they don’t like to eat with an accurate schedule, and they like to eat he they are leisure. In the past, almost social behaviors are person to person, but now, almost are person to computer, they like to eating when they are playing computer or watching TV. He also gives us an example. In the old age, people like to have soup together, but in this time, they prefer to drink them alone, and the soup’s size is also changing, they are single-serving package now.

         As for me, I’d rather to eat alone. Because if you always eat with other person in the college, that will waste lots of times. The benefit is more than that; Chinese people like to entertain guests, which mean pay for the whole price. If you don’t do that, your friend will think you are very niggardly. But if you pay for the whole price, that always not a little amount. So this thing is very hard to choose. If you just eat self, maybe you will feel alone, all in all meal time is a very short time, stay with yourself for a short time is also a good choose.
