Work makes Food better

Food at meetings can be quite a distraction. In my own life, the purpose of food is to get work done. I prefer to minimise time spent eating. I also prefer to minimise the cost of eating. While eating, it is good to minimise unnecessary distractions, and that is the main reason I study cooking ... to minimise the displeasure of having to process crap. Food is crap, when it is difficult to eat, reflective of poor intelligence ( sign of imminent fools ), or otherwise distracting from work. While eating, it is good to get work done ... and that is the value of meetings over food. "Work makes food better", not "food makes work better".

But many people are not like that - they actually eat for fun. I think this is a mark of dumbness and lack of more important things to do in life. So many meetings I have attended, are highly distracted.

A meta thread : 

There was an individual who commented persistently that my view was wrong. I had to highlight repeatedly that we each had our own preferences, and there was no obligation being asserted upon them whatsoever.

"people need to engage in foodie rituals to build trust" - yes, yes, I know you are like that. Quite silly in my opinion. Keep it up, you do you. I prefer to focus on business. Call me when you are done waffling.

A piss upon people, who depend on food for their feelings. Not quite a genocidal comment, since tis the season for such analysis. Whereas I reserve my preferences for the eradication of emotional uncertainties from the genome, I do not believe it means we have to kill individuals. But we can move civilisation in the direction of such improvements over time. Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Sir, I have here a sign on my lawn, saying "XYZ sucks". You are now on my lawn, putting your own signs that say, "this sign sucks". While I understand your frustrations with having no place to place your sign, except on my lawn, I would suggest you place your sign, on your lawn, and not clutter mine.
