I am just like you: I can’t get through a meal without some entertainment helping me along. Sure, sometimes I eat dinner with other people, and sometimes I scarf down my meals so quickly I can’t even watch a TikTok before finishing them, but when I’m alone and taking my time, I need to be distracted by something. When I’m feeling wild, I will try to eat a meal over the course of an entire episode of Frasier. Anyone who has eaten with me knows that I scarf down food like a vacuum cleaner, so spending 20 minutes on a single plate is a unique and fun challenge. 

Who says when you’re eating that microwaved pesto tortellini that you need to be watching something? Scrolling through a bevy of random memes is an equally noble pursuit that will leave you more literate than you would be after watching another Friends rerun. So what are you waiting for? Enjoy this bountiful cornucopia.
