"A generation ago, it was considered rude to eat in front of others. Now, Americans eat everywhere, all day long ⎯ an average of five meals a day, counting snacks. Cars have cupholders, but they arguably need trays, too. Americans eat 30 meals a year in their vehicles."
⎯ Brink, Susan. "Eat This Now!"
U.S. News & World Report , 28 Mar. 2005: 57. Print.
Student version: According to Susan Brink, eating in front of others was once believed to be rude, but now Americans are in the habit of eating wherever they go. She suggests that cars need trays as well as cupholders, but I think that's a bad idea. Eating while driving is really quite dangerous. It distracts the driver's attention and leads to accidents; therefore, people should wait to eat until they get home (57) .
