Los adolescentes prefieren el móvil a comer
Un voto a favor de la sobremesa
En un blog británico dedicado a la cultura gastronómica española donde se difunden recetas típicas, sugerencias de tapas, garitos que en su país recogen nuestras costumbres, etc. aparece una entrada en la que se detallan seis costumbres españolas a la hora de comer que destacan a ojos de un inglés. Entre ellos, uno de los rasgos característicos de los españoles a la mesa que llama la atención a nuestros vecinos británicos es la sobremesa.
A los españoles nos gusta practicar la sobremesa, comer tranquilamente y además, disfrutar de una buena conversación con el resto de comensales. Aunque el ritmo actual y el reparto de los horarios patrios estén acabando con esta gran práctica y nos empuje a comer rápido y mal, nos gusta tanto la sobremesa que es frecuente que, en días señalados, empalmemos la comida con la llamada merienda-cena.
Estómago lleno, tranquilidad, conversación… se nos sobrevienen estas sensaciones a la mente y, solo con pensarlas, ya nos sentimos un poco mejor, incluso deseamos que llegue la siguiente ‘comida tranquila’. Pero no solo nuestro ritmo de vida actual hace que casi nos tomemos el postre de camino hacia otro lado. La presencia del móvil sobre la mesa nos hace disfrutar menos de la comida, estar menos atento a las conversaciones y prestar más interés a las notificaciones de nuestros ‘nuevos compañeros tecnológicos de mesa’.
Por eso, una posible iniciativa que puedes implantar en tu restaurante es reservar un par de mesas en las que esté prohibido el uso de móviles durante la comida, como ya han hecho en este restaurante de Miami. Si por nosotros mismos no somos capaces de ‘desintoxicarnos’, tendremos que encontrar un impulso. Ya nos contaréis si funciona o no.
Queremos confirmar que los datos son correctos, por eso nos encantaría que votarás a la siguiente encuesta que estamos realizando en Twitter:
¿Cuando estás comiendo estás pendiente de tu móvil?
