Do you ever read any reading material while having breakfast, lunch or dinner?

I like read while I am eating. My fiance and I work at night and when we get back home (early in the morning) I often read the newspaper while I am eating. I like to read the news before going to bed. When I am alone I also like to read while I an eating lunch or dinner, but most of the time I am not eating alone, and then I don't read. When I was a child I also liked to read while I was eating, but my mother didn't like it, either. She thinks it is bad habit, and that might be true, but it is a bad habit that I intend to keep

I know reading is a good habit. But as a parent, sometimes it is very frustrated to see the children just focus on reading but not doing other things like eating properly. My son likes reading at night because he has free time after doing the homework. Sometimes I have to push him to be faster since it is very late for him to go to bed already. It is a dilemma because on one hand I hope he likes reading, but on the other hand I hope he can go to bed on time.

I used to read books while eating as a student and sometimes now I still read, but most time I read from my mobile phone for news or sit next to my laptop. It is a habit of mine. I agree with your mother that we must concentrate on what we are eating, which is a good eating habit. Take care.

I love to read. I will read while eating, watching TV and waiting for the computer to load a page. It drives my husband nuts. I don't see what his problem is. I'm not bothering anybody. He really hates it when we are playing cards and I am beating him while reading a book. I get board and restless if I'm not doing more then one thing.

yes I love to read, not necessarily when eating but after eating,i adore books especially books on thrillers.

Even if it is not my habit but I always have my magazine or newspaper beside me when I have my breakfast. Mom dislike me to that too. I think moms said that it is unhealthy because she did not want us to get choke or something like that plus it can makes you eat longer and tend to make you eat more because you don't realized that you have finished your food and still your stomach feel not full yet. While for me reading while having our food is just the same like watching TV with snacks with you. If we can manage and control the food we consume there is nothing to worry about.(^^)

Yes,I do sometimes read the newspaper while having my breakfast, but it's not as common as my watching the TV or reading emails while doing it. I know it would be better not to do it and have a family talk instead.

My breakfast is always followed by reading the morning papers. But not during heavy meals like lunch or dinner.

sometimes i do read a book when i'm having my meal, but mostly i only do this when i'm eating by myself at home

nope i don't do that.whenever it's meal time,what we usually is talk about things especially during supper.me and my family talk about things that happened the whole day,whether we had a good one or a bad one.meal time has always been like sacred to our family.doing other stuff while eating is not really encouraged. happy mylotting!

yeah.. either I read the newspaper or I watch somethign on the news/computer happy lotting and have a nice day

I've always read while I ate. I had issues with keeping food down when I was young. I'd look at the food, and get sick. By reading, I didn't have to look at the food, I could distract myself from it. Even today, I have a hard time looking at food before eating it. Especially if it looks ... bad. Like tomato soup made with milk instead of water. I can't tolerate that, even with a book. The color is too horrid.

I used to cram when I was still studying so I read anywhere.

I read something during most meals. Sometimes a book, sometimes the paper and sometimes a magazine. If I don't have a book within arms reach I get nervous. Its my way of establishing personal space.
