Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why New Yorkers pay $15 for 'sad desk salads'
New Yorkers seem to have diverse tastes. While some people are willing to pay $200 for a bowl of French fries (Topic Reading-Vol.3404-8/6/2021) at a restaurant, others are lining up to buy a take-out salad to eat at the desk. The former is for experience and the latter for performance. Nowadays, many hardworking New Yorkers are both ambitious and health-conscious. If they eat lunch while tackling the computer, they could signal dedication to their job. But why salad? It’s healthy, of course, so it’s good for the person. Also, it isn’t offensive to coworkers who do not eat a certain food, like vegans and believers of certain religions. Another reason take-out salad is preferred is that it usually doesn’t smell so much, like Chinese fried rice. All in all, take-out salad seems like a convenient choice for New Yorkers for their health, career, and office environment.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about why take-out salad is so popular among New Yorkers.
