Racing through daytime meals is part of the "American pace"of life
Generally speaking,American food is rather bland（刺激性小的） and unspiced.Salads are much liked and are served all year round.Many American people are trying to keep down their weight and so they are "calorie"（卡路里） conscious（有意识的）.This is evident in menus offering "low calorie" or "weight watchers" meals.In markets one can find "No Cal" drinks (meaning without calories) such as ginger ale（姜汁无酒精饮料） or cola."Diet" foods without sugar or salt are also available in food stores.Waiters in American restaurants tend to assume（假想） that everyone drinks coffee.If a waiter suddenly asks "Now or later?" what he means is "Do you want coffee with your meal or later?" Many Americans drink coffee or tea with their meal.When dining out in the US we can ask for tea,milk,coke,beer,and so on,if we prefer these to coffee.American restaurants cannot serve beer,wine,or liquor（酒精饮料）unless they are licensed（授权）to do so.Most Americans eat quickly during the day---that is,breakfast and lunch---unless it is a social,business,or family occasion.The evening meal,however,is usually leisurely（从容不迫）and a family time.Racing through daytime meals is part of the "American pace" of life,for working time is considered precious.There is also another reason,that others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so they too can be served and get back to work within the allotted （分配的）time.Each one hurries to make room for the next person.
