We all need to eat. So, meals could be a chance to stop what we’re doing and spend time with the people in our lives. But sometimes they are not. It does not matter if a person is married or single; is a parent or not; is working or retired. From time to time, we all eat last-minute meals alone. And, of course, eating alone at home or at a restaurant can be a very satisfying experience. However, could eating too many meals alone be bad for our health or affect our future success? Several studies show that it might for some people. A recent study from a team of South Korean researchers suggests that frequently eating alone may lead to poor eating habits and poor food choices.
