What is there to learn? There is no way I'm going to waste my time packing a box lunch regardless of what appliances the company provides to heat it up.
Its about priorities. Lunch/Food is something that impacts your health over time. I know time is a priority, but if you are not healthy nothing else matters.
A sick persons time hasn't much value.
It's not your fault. It's just the difference between the culture in which dining is an important experience and the culture where dining is merely a chore.
Your attitude is exactly the point. In many other countries, they _would_ spend their time packing a box lunch. As an American by birth, I didn't understand this either until I went abroad. At first, it was simply shocking how much time/effort went into food preparation/consumption. But over time, I came to appreciate (and missed upon my return) the much more nuanced approach taken to cuisine in some other countries.
In India, the male worker doesn't have to spend his time. It's the wife/mother that does it. Even if the woman works, it's assumed she'll cook 3 hot meals a day.
