    When we lived in BLANK 1 of 21 England, there was one thing that my wife could not accept: BLANK 2 of 21 sandwiches. For Tania, BLANK 3 of 21 lunch should be BLANK 4 of 21 hot, hearty meal. But for BLANK 5 of 21 most English children and adults, BLANK 6 of 21 lunch on BLANK 7 of 21 weekday means BLANK 8 of 21 couple of sandwiches, BLANK 9 of 21 piece of fruit and maybe BLANK 10 of 21 bag of crisps or BLANK 11 of 21 cereal bar. This habit starts at BLANK 12 of 21 young age. BLANK 13 of 21 most nurseries and primary schools don’t provide BLANK 14 of 21 hot food at BLANK 15 of 21 lunchtime, so BLANK 16 of 21 parents have to make BLANK 17 of 21 packed lunch for their kids every day. BLANK 18 of 21 secondary schools usually have BLANK 19 of 21 canteen, but BLANK 20 of 21 kids often prefer to spend their dinner money on BLANK 21 of 21 sandwich instead.

    It wasn’t always like this. Before BLANK 1 of 28 1970s many workplaces had BLANK 2 of 28 canteens where BLANK 3 of 28 staff could get BLANK 4 of 28 hot meal and BLANK 5 of 28 schools provided BLANK 6 of 28 free hot food to BLANK 7 of 28 children. Around this time BLANK 8 of 28 employers realised that they could save BLANK 9 of 28 money and space by closing their canteens and making BLANK 10 of 28 workers find their own lunch. Then BLANK 11 of 28 government did BLANK 12 of 28 same in BLANK 13 of 28 schools. By BLANK 14 of 28 1980s BLANK 15 of 28 most supermarkets were selling BLANK 16 of 28 sandwiches and BLANK 17 of 28 sandwich shops like Pret a Manger were popping up all over BLANK 18 of 28 country. Unsurprisingly, BLANK 19 of 28 people are much less healthy than they used to be. BLANK 20 of 28 obesity levels are much higher and BLANK 21 of 28 children seem to have many more allergies. It’s not fair to blame all this on BLANK 22 of 28 sandwiches, but they are BLANK 23 of 28 most obvious symbol of BLANK 24 of 28 culture in which eating is BLANK 25 of 28 very low priority. I used to eat BLANK 26 of 28 sandwiches for BLANK 27 of 28 lunch, but now I prefer BLANK 28 of 28 borsch, shi or solyanka! Although I can’t actually make them myself…
