We have all gotten ourselves into the nasty habit of eating indoors all the time and just because the food is prepared in the kitchen, it doesn’t mean that you can’t pick it up and go outside to enjoy some fresh air. If you decide to go to a nice restaurant to enjoy some tasty food then there is nothing to say that you need to eat a meal indoors because many modern restaurants have an outside area or a patio area where you can sit down and enjoy your meal in peace and tranquillity. When we were young, we would jump at every opportunity offered to us to take our food to the outside and yet now that we are adults, we very seldom practice this.
