How can you satisfy your hunger while your neighbor is spending the night hungry?
My wife doesn't cook, so we eat out every night. It's not fine dining or anything - we're not fancy people.
We kind of have an ingrained, parasitic society. We kind of think it's okay to eat your neighbor.
I eat with my hands when I am home alone!
Sitting down to eat in our house is about sharing, you know, talking about the day you've had, be it in school or work or whatever, so that's very important to us.
Eating at home is fine, as I can easily work around the foods that don't agree with me and still eat heartily with the rest of my family. I don't force them to follow my diet.
Feeding is a very important ritual for me. I don't trust people who don't like to eat.
I don't want food all over the place, down the sides of the sofa... When I shared a flat before I got married, we would always eat around the telly, but not now!
In the right circumstances, I'm a big fan of eating alone. Often, on a Sunday evening, I go to a yoga class whose charm is largely that it gives me an alibi to avoid cooking family supper for once. I return to have boiled eggs and soldiers in silence with a book. Bliss.
Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.
