“When did it become O.K. to eat in bookstores?” That’s a funny question. But, when you think about it we are living in an increasingly luxurious and comfort driven society. Everything has to be an experience. It’s no wonder food has become a part of habits we would never have associated it with before.
I couldn’t agree more with the piece on dining out on meals that should serve two. It’s foolish to eat a meal off a platter that you’d use to serve two to four from at home. What makes us such gluttons when we eat out??
A typical American restaurant meal is more like dinner for two.
I’ve heard that before. Restaurants and establishments that are in the business of selling food are far more interested in making it look and feel tasty than making it healthy. Whereas people at home might make trade-offs and use less oil or butter to reduce the calorie count, restaurants will go to any length to make food desirable as long as their customers don’t express a preference (by going somewhere else). It’s not the restaurants’ fault. It’s the fault of consumers for not demanding something that is healthy.

I can easily see how a fat doctor wouldn’t condemn a fat patient.

I don’t know what to make of this. I certainly don’t think children conceived after death should qualify for survivor’s benefits.
