#38: Working and eating out
Work bit 1: According to Harry Balzer of the NPD Group, the main factor determining the way Americans eat is the proportion of women going out to work. The more women go out to work, the more people eat out or order in cooked food.
Work bit 2: Since the year 2000 the proportion of women going out to work has stopped growing. If more women stay home and start cooking again, then expect American waistlines to shrink. Not because their cooking is bad, but because restaurant food tends to be less healthy.
Work bit 3: Do not make yourself indispensable, not even in the kitchen. If you cannot be fired, you cannot be promoted either.
Work bit 4: Gloria Steinem once said, “I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.”
