eat that burrito ASAP, and then create some value!

Probably an abuse of data mining, but still interesting:

the 10 countries where people spend less than 100 minutes eating and drinking each day have, as a group, consistently shown higher economic growth than those that took more than 100 minutes to savor their daily repasts.

    Sorry, but in this case I will trade lower GDP for more time to eat. Yum.

    Nearly two hours isn’t enough time for lunch?

    It didn’t specify lunch.

    Well, that’s true. In fact, it said “time spent eating and drinking per day.” While I’m all for avoiding being rushed while eating, I can’t imagine I spend more than 70-80 or so (especially if we’re only considering time spent only eating, as opposed to snacking on popcorn while coding or something.)
