品味“午休文化”，给你的生活一点喘息的机会

What we eat at lunch is also important. In Partnoy's opinion, a fast food lunch is more harmful than not having lunch at all. And it's not just about calories and unhealthy food. Recent studies show that fast food also has negative effects on how we think.

午餐吃什么也同样重要。帕特诺伊认为，午餐吃快餐比什么都不吃更有害。这不仅仅是卡路里和垃圾食品的事。最新研究表明，快餐对我们的思考方式也存在不良影响。

Researchers at the University of Toronto in Canada have shown that merely being exposed to a fast food logo speeds up our reactions.

加拿大多伦多大学研究人员已经证明，仅仅看到快餐店标志，就足以加快我们的的反应。

However, if we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues, we are more likely to slow down, something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and over-packed fast food chain.

而如果我们坐在一间真正的餐厅里，与同事们悠闲地聊天，我们更容易放松下来。这在喧闹拥挤的快餐连锁店里是无法做到的。

A long lunch also benefits single people, as it frees up time for them to go on a date.

一份悠长的午餐对于单身男女也是大有裨益，因为他们可以有更充足时间去约会。

The two factors that matter most at the early stages of a relationship are chemistry and compatibility. Love at first sight rarely happens in real life, but an hour-long lunch is enough to get a sense of those factors. Furthermore, embarrassment and awkwardness can be avoided when both parties know the lunch will end in an hour.
