A recent report found that Americans have become less likely to go out for a workday lunch, and more likely to eat a brought-from-home lunch at their desks.

Do you go out for a lunch break? And if not, why not?

@rbreich
I eat a homemade lunch for several reasons:

  1. I don't get paid for my lunch break. if I buy lunch then I'll need to make up that time by working longer. Instead, I multitask while eating my homemade meal.

  2. I save money and eat healthier by bringing my own lunch. The cost of living crisis and corporate greed isn't being addressed, so I'm forced to be frugal.

  3. If I purchase takeout then it usually involves single-use plastic. Dining in mitigates this but refer to 1.
