ORIGINAL: GoddessImaginos I'm with LaT. What time someone chooses to prepare and eat a meal, in their own home and according to their own life's scheduling requirements, is no one else's concern, period, end of story. Look, I know the OP is a jerk... but this response is a joke. End of what story? End of communication in any meaningful sense, that story? Honestly, like having views (sometimes scientific) on preferable (healthy) daily habits somehow impedes upon your sacred personal space. Actually it does. Your views assume that all people are on the same scheduale. Not everyone works a 9 to 5 job. Eating earlier may be well and good but the term "earlier" is subjective. Perhaps the lady in question works 10 pm to 7 am. In that case an 8 pm dinner time seems very reasonable. And YES, social stigma due to the time one chooses to cook and eat is an impedement on my sacred personal space. Of course you're arguing in the wrong direction. To turn this boat around: one could argue that being able to pursue a healthy schedule, if one so chooses, is or should be a basic right. If jobs give breaks for smoking (right? I'm not a lawyer), they should give breaks for healthy eating times. I'm not arguing that all people are on the same schedule, but that people should know that, with some fairly small variations, there indeed exists a 'right schedule'. Eating 'earlier' is not subjective, at least in the sense that 'subjective' means anything. It possesses small variations, but it's in fact objective. You apparently want to privatize everything, including common sense, which no one (with common sense) should permit.
