Letter to a Young Diner: 10 Reasons *not* to go out to Dinner.

I've found it interesting how my last post was read. I apologise if I made it sound that one could never travel. As if I could make that claim anyway! But my post had a purpose: to challenge some of the reasons we give.

This post may clear up what I meant in the last last.

One anonymous person wrote in the comments:

I would hate to see you write a post about:
10 reasons to not go out to dinner.

I could think of 10:

1. To avoid eating dinner with your spouse;
2. To satisfy gluttony;
3. To cure your sadness;
4. To spend your inheritance in a week of culinary feasting;
5. To get drunk;
6. To save money (depending on where you live in the world!)
7. To buy friendship;
8. To gain approval for your expensive tastes;
9. If you are on the run from the law;
10. Because you believe it will satisfy you forever.

I can think of plenty of reasons to go out for dinner. But, like travel, most people don't need those reasons. They just go anyway.

If you can get this post, you'll get my meaning in the last one.

:)
