The Luxury of an Unhurried Meal

We eat at desks, in cars, in front of screens. Calories in, work out. Something essential gets lost.

A meal eaten slowly, with people you love, in no particular hurry, is one of the oldest joys available to humans. It cannot be bought, only chosen.

Once a week, set the table. Light something. Put the phones in another room. Remember what food is for.
