When did lunch become just another item on our to-do list? Once, the middle of the day was a restorative pause: a time to sit, enjoy a meal and catch up with those around us. Today, lunch can often feel more like a task to squeeze in between jobs, life admin and getting from A to B.
But are we really happy with that time-squeezed approach to arguably the best bit of the day? To find out what Britain actually wants from lunch, Heinz commissioned a nationwide survey of Britons’ eating habits, with YouGov. The results suggest that, despite our increasingly frenetic lives, we’re far from ready to give up on the idea of lunch as a moment to stop, rest and savour something delicious.
