“Take the young burglar I saw in prison last week…He was thin and malnourished in the manner I have described. Five feet ten, he weighed just over a hundred pounds…
“I asked the young man if his mother ever cooked for him. “Not since my stepfather arrived.She would cook for him, like, but not for the children.” … So, you never sat around a table and ate a meal together?” “No.”
“In fact, he told me that he had never once eaten at a table with others in the last fifteen years. Eating for him was a solitary vice, something done almost furtively, with no pleasure attached to it and certainly not a social event.” Theodore Dalrymple, Our Culture, What’s Left of It,© 2005, Ivan R.
