Yes please

This is great! Why is there an unnecessary stigma about eating out alone? People eat alone at home all the time. Even people who have an SO.

Decades ago, I read a science fiction book where one of the social background aspects was that people had no hangups about things like public nudity but treated the act of eating as if it were defecation-a private act, to be done alone and to experience shame if observed. Who knew the author was prescient. Now bring on the public nudity! Except for masks, of course.
