thing i've noticed.

breakfast is the most solitary meal. lunch, dinner, brunch, you always see people eating with people.
not often the case with breakfast. i'm guessing it's because the social portion of most people's brains don't fire up the engines until somewhere around 1o o'clock.

the ratios- as i've observed them are roughly as follows
single eaters to companion eaters
breakfast- 6:1
lunch- 1:3
dinner- 1:5

for some reason, it's a social oddity to eat lunch or dinner by yourself, but for breakfast it seems to be the norm. hmmmm. perhaps i should investigate this further.
