Though it is an unhealthy attitude, I admit, I find that meals and eating really are the most annoying interruptions to my daily schedule. The options are many (making food, eating out, pizza delivery, etc.) but everything, including the eating takes time and money.
I wonder when home delivery of food (in the US, pizza seems to dominate, but in places like Japan and Korea, I get the feeling no single thing really completely dominates the very diverse food delivery market in the same way) started? It looks like the German philosopher Leibniz was doing something of this sort:
“At home, he was monarch of all he surveyed; he always took his meals alone. He had not stated times for them, and no domestic staff. He sent out to a cook-shop for something to eat and took whatever was going. Very often he slept the night in his chair, and woke up none the less refreshed at seven or eight in the morning…” quoted in Hazard, Paul The European Mind 1680-1715 (1952), p234″
