Is eating a social activity?

[Straggler]

It doesn't looks as weird when you're eating alone and doing something, though, like reading a newspaper or texting: otherwise it's like, yeah munch munch munch all by yourself and that looks weird.

That's indeed true. Whenever I'm alone in public, and I get the feeling that people are looking at me weird I'll whip my phone on it and text someone. I don't know why but it just makes me feel less awkward.

No, you eat so you can live.

Not necessarily true.
Some people eat more than they need to live, I mean look at the obesity rate in America. At least half of the obese could help it by not eating as much as they do. Eating is not just a necessity, but indeed a social activity.

How is eating to live not necessarily true? I didn't say anything about excessively eating or obesity. I merely said that you eat to live. You need energy, you get energy from food.

Your right. I never said you weren't.
What I meant was, eating is needed to live, BUT some people also treat it as a social activity.

it should be but i heard talking while eating is bad.

 

[Swan]

For some people it is.

For me it generally isn't. I tend to eat by myself, and if it is with someone, I eat the meal quickly and leave.

Eating at home - hardly.
Eating out with someone else - Definetly
Eating out alone - It can be.

There.

lol i love it when theres his fat loner nn the corner of maccyD's eating like 10 big macs by himself rofl

I'd say yes. How boring would it be and how just sad would you look going to McDonalds or Burger King and eating in alone? The only time I get fast food alone is if I'm coming home at 1 or 2AM and want to get a burger and shake from McDonalds; I go through the drive-thru. It's like what you guys are saying about movies and concerts, there just some things you don't do alone, and eating out is probably number 1.

Yes, it could cause choking.

50/50 You can eat on your own i.e. go grab something to eat on your break from work.
Or you have lunch with freinds.

 

[Unanswered]

well, the only reason i go to mcdonalds is for the dollar menu

the only time i don't use the drive-through window is when i'm with friends, so yeah, eating is sort of a social activity, i mean it definitely is if you think about family dinners and gatherings and whatnot

when i'm alone i just want to get it in me and go

 

[The Rising Tied]

Yes it is, it's something to do while talking.

Eating at home - hardly.
Eating out with someone else - Definetly
Eating out alone - It can be.

There.

^^^ The word choices in that quote made me lol.
