Summary

This quote suggests that in urban environments, there is a tendency to place excessive importance on the act of having lunch. In cities, where the pace of life is often fast and demanding, people often view lunch as an opportunity to momentarily escape from their hectic routines and rejuvenate. The act of taking a lunch break is seen as a form of self-care or relief from stress, and perhaps there is an overemphasis on its ability to heal and restore individuals in the midst of urban pressures.

Keeping accounts, Sir, is of no use when a man is spending his own money, and has nobody to whom he is to account. You won't eat less beef today, because you have written down what it cost yesterday.
