白领饮食也是亚健康 49秒吃一个汉堡

　　It used to be the case that you got a whole hour for lunch. But Britons are now under so much pressure at home and at work that they spend just 39 minutes a day eating, a study has found. For many, the lunch hour has given way to a quick sandwich at the desk - which is forced down in an average of just 12 minutes and 49 seconds.

　　回首过去，我们发现用1个小时来享用午餐、或者晚餐的日子真的一去不复返了，据调查，英国人目前每天平均用餐时间仅为短短39分钟，对于很多白领上班族来说，中午一个三明治就能马上解决问题，平均花费时间为12分钟，最短时间竟然可以达到49秒。

　　Breakfast is an even quicker affair, lasting only seven minutes and 20 seconds. Often, it's just a slice of toast as we dash out of the door. And dinner takes just 19 minutes - making a total of 39 minutes and nine seconds a day for meals. Half of us are so busy that we sometimes skip lunch altogether, with women more likely to do so than men.Eating has become a purely functional routine for three-quarters of adults, who scoff food so quickly they cannot enjoy it or appreciate the taste.

　　而对于早餐来说，白领可以用更快的速度“履行完整个过程”，一般会选择一片土司，平均耗时可达7分钟，最短可以达到20秒。与早餐相比，晚餐的时间可能比较长一些，一般可以达到19分钟。专家做了一个统计，白领一天在吃饭上所用的时间仅仅为39分钟零9秒。而尽管吃饭的时间已经如此短暂，好多人还是会因工作忙碌而采取“饥一顿·饱一顿”的策略，据统计，女性不按时吃饭、逃午餐的机率要比男性大得多。而对于75%的成年人来说，吃饭变成了一个功能性、常规性的任务，没有人会花精力细细品尝食物、并感受食物的魅力了。
