Eat slowly

This isn't really a big deal, but I feel that people who go through their food too quickly miss out on one of the greatest things in life. I went to Chick-Fil-A the other day with a few friends and though most of us ate for the entire hour or so that we were there, one of my friends finished his meal in less than two minutes and his drink in one large gulp.

Food, relaxation, and friends go hand in hand. Extending the meal over an hour instead of two minutes means you get more for your money, continue feeling full, can take time to enjoy the taste of the food, and fill in gaps of conversation or time needed to think. It's part of a societal trend to always be hurrying through life, even though a quick arrival at whatever your destination is isn't necessary.
