Question

　　Americans eat breakfast and lunch quickly unless it is a social, business, or family occasion.

　　The evening meal is usually longer and it is a time for families to gather together. Running quickly through daytime meals is part of the fast pace in America. Another reason for running quickly through daytime meals is that many people eat in restaurants that are usually crowded with people waiting for a place so that they, too, can be served and return to work at the proper time. So each one hurries to make room for the next person. There is real difference between meals that are eaten in a hurry and those that can be enjoyed slowly with friends.
