as , they don't don't
0:54
to do is do it's lunchtime that
0:56
paris lunchtime a plasma chef
0:59
sir talking of their menus from separate
1:02
of tried setting from wine
1:04
crafts or staggered customers
1:06
, table are derived from
1:09
and seems like this are playing out in be strode
1:11
into teams across friends
1:18
meanwhile inner
1:21
office at the university of strasbourg
1:23
an english teacher named caitlin flashy furtively
1:26
pulsar head into the hallway looks
1:29
both ways see
1:31
no one to carefully click the door closed
1:34
returns to her desk and in the glove
1:36
her computer screen she pulls out a
1:39
salad
1:41
the and records this voice memo i reckon
1:44
listen team many mistakes
1:47
he has workplace
1:49
troll challenge which
1:51
is currently i'm sitting in my office
1:54
hiding
1:56
the turned it on site
2:00
my time in france people
2:02
generally taken our house two hours
2:05
and and try
2:07
not to talk about work
2:11
that i come from the us and
2:13
i love a productive lunch
2:20
and there's even a law in france that
2:22
sustains workers from
2:24
eating after test and
2:28
that is my workplace
2:32
thanks
2:37
what you say else for me then
2:40
there's a law because it's allies
2:42
against eating lunch at your desk and you
2:44
read this and unstudied
2:47
, havasu on an old
2:49
but we were so struck by
2:51
this idea that we sent our reporter cats
2:53
laszlo to various bestows in paris with
2:55
paris copy of the french labour code as
2:58
you know that i was alone
3:02
it really needed
3:05
what do you mean by really needed ah
3:07
i love sweets so
3:10
we called that caitlin the listener center
3:12
said policemen
3:13
when i hope you realize that i realize
3:15
this is the piteous things i could write
3:17
you about my lunch break is
3:19
too long and to relax
3:22
she told us she's been living in france and she graduated
3:24
seven years ago she's engaged to be married
3:27
this summer to a french guy so she's
3:29
here in france for the long haul and she
3:31
doesn't want to have to feel a criminal every time
3:33
she checks offer to do list at lunch
3:37
the paper says she has been a rebel
3:39
against the french lunch break this your
3:41
first job in front
3:43
oh yeah i had an internship in an angio
3:46
and so it was mandated that we take our
3:48
lunch break but take your lunch break literally
3:50
meant like go outside and
3:53
sometimes the weather was terrible
3:55
in the first week i didn't have any friends and
3:57
so i would eat my lunch quickly
3:59
and then make laps around the neighbourhood
4:01
like what are you supposed to do you
4:03
can't match your desk
4:05
and what would be actually the punishment for
4:08
coming back to death
4:09
it was just really looks down on my
4:12
boss at the time the explain
4:14
to me i think you're not
4:16
appreciating the full length
4:18
of time that you should be
4:20
in front lines think the opposite
4:22
of a conversation with the boss you might expect
4:24
are indeed see a was
4:27
to lunch longer right
4:32
this is rough translation and gregory
4:34
warner as you know we love getting your voice
4:36
mails in your emails the former stories
4:38
though i don't think we'd ever gotten such a clear
4:41
cry for help and , opportunity
4:43
really did i use the tools of journalism
4:46
solver not solve ensued someone's
4:48
workplace cultural talent so
4:51
he decided to find out the logic behind this
4:53
strange law and maybe convince
4:55
one american to leave work at
4:57
work
4:58
if you succeed aware all of
5:00
the French people in my life. Have not succeeded. This
5:03
would be
5:03
impressive. We have it on Can
5:08
you finish your lunch before you finish this episode? Well,
5:11
it kind of depends on where you live. It's no
5:13
lunch at work from rough translation.
5:15
Back after this break.

6:26
with rach inflation and gregory warner
6:29
caitlin are american lizard france was
6:31
quick to point out that she does not have a problem
6:33
with long lunch breaks on occasion
6:36
i can appreciate
6:38
spending time in a specific
6:40
way and saying okay for two hours
6:43
for playing it all aside we're not looking
6:45
at our sons we're not taking that work and
6:47
that's good that
6:49
i just don't want someone to dictate that a has to do that
6:51
every day
6:52
wouldn't it be enough for the government to protect our
6:54
time to tell him players they have
6:56
to give us a break for lunch
6:58
there have also mandating where the employees
7:00
have to eat it but are you surprised that
7:02
this is written down and alone know
7:04
, knew read so when our reporter
7:06
cats laszlo interviewed lunch goers at
7:09
to be strauss almost no one
7:11
was surprised that the country would have such a law
7:13
law smokers have any professional studies on
7:16
this is just as french traditionally don't hold
7:18
on i've had some forces have lots
7:21
of people told us some version of this
7:23
that to understand this law
7:25
you just have to look at french culture but
7:28
the real story it turns out to
7:30
be kind of the opposite
7:31
the to meet you professor l you can say
7:33
martin professor martin bruegel
7:36
is a food culture historians that
7:38
the french national research institute for agriculture
7:40
food in the environment and when we get
7:42
on the subject of working lunches
7:45
he told me that a recent debate that broke
7:47
out at his own workplace on lunchtime
7:50
seminars whether
7:53
they were a useful
7:55
when the lunchtime seminar the american
7:58
brown bag was proposed the at
8:00
martin's institute
8:02
professors protested lunchtime
8:04
, been hours and for considered as
8:07
socially regress is intellectually
8:11
insufficient and so on on
8:14
as you needed a break in
8:16
stuart your for a time
8:19
and that brown bag debate is still ongoing there
8:21
are with a result the solution
8:23
is that isn't seminars happened but
8:26
happened sandwiches
8:28
are not even during the seminar
8:30
during india as
8:32
india self lunches
8:35
once and work is work keep the sandwiches
8:38
aside from the seminars
8:40
this was exactly the kind of social go
8:42
that had sent caitlin scurrying
8:44
back to your office with her salad oh yeah
8:46
like when she doesn't as go over their colleagues had
8:49
i do go out with them and i love spending time
8:51
with them i , often
8:53
try to talk about work and
8:56
that swindled reminds me as being like
8:58
oh this like oh off time with thought
9:00
about that later because it really
9:02
it they've grown up with this idea that you have
9:04
to make a separation between
9:07
lunch and works and when you're at lunch you're
9:09
not at work
9:10
but if they ever have never actually
9:12
tried to say listen our
9:14
way is better and here's why
9:17
i don't think any of my colleagues have this
9:20
question why it's the reason
9:22
that i called martin the food culture story
9:24
and cheaper stare recent law that
9:27
regulates how we sit
9:29
down to eat during the birthday
9:31
so that got me started the get
9:34
very interested in the origins of the french once
9:36
law
9:39
the story martin tells begins in
9:41
the wake of the industrial revolution of
9:43
the nineteenth century
9:45
the economy develop the distance
9:47
between someone's residents
9:50
and to workplace increased more
9:52
and more workers were spending most of their
9:54
day stuck inside workplaces no
9:57
work place in the eighty nineties
10:00
this you might imagine where
10:02
health hazards
10:05
they're monitor makers got mercury poisoning
10:08
match bookmakers guess fauci john
10:11
silver star still refuse
10:14
it wasn't just a toxic chemicals
10:16
in factories even the department
10:19
stores
10:21
they discovered that a double more microbes
10:24
per cubic feet and outside
10:26
if people worried
10:28
about workers life expectancy
10:33
like a fresh air was seen
10:35
as a culprit the ceiling was
10:37
that we have to flush to work
10:39
sites as we flush toilets
10:43
mechanical ventilation wasn't really wasn't thing
10:45
so instead they decided to open the windows
10:48
the get the dirt out
10:53
when can we do that and what
10:55
is the best time to do it's funny to
10:57
and people usually eat
11:02
the
11:08
and
11:11
so legislators passed a new
11:13
decrease article states
11:16
said , work sites had to be
11:18
ventilated touring eating
11:21
breaks shut down the machines
11:23
and articles nine cents worth
11:25
sites has to be evacuated
11:27
doing eating breaks get
11:30
the people outside and open the windows
11:32
to let the air is is
11:35
was the big public health insight of
11:37
eighteen ninety eighteen and men
11:41
was , so people
11:43
would spill over into the street which
11:46
, a problem made itself which
11:48
that the other problems crowded
11:50
streets littered parks
11:54
parks of women in the streets
11:58
the first women's right
12:00
actually i , seamstresses
12:02
was supposed to right to
12:05
eat in their workplace workplace
12:08
female labour inspector commented in her
12:10
yearly report for ninety no one the
12:12
enforcement of this law quote appears
12:15
tyrannical to the women and girls living
12:17
far from their workplace has taken up
12:19
the habit of bringing in there already prepared
12:22
already they wanted to go back
12:24
because they thought that eating
12:27
industries was not seem bleak
12:29
and eating not seem was too expensive
12:32
for them
12:34
what was the argument on the other side with
12:37
there's some fairy determine immunologists
12:40
was there a tony south sea of the of
12:42
friends who has ever , khazar
12:45
of the hygiene or something know
12:51
it had much to do with the political
12:53
structure in france you know it's
12:55
very centralized it also
12:58
happens that to do was
13:00
a heavy deputation of doctors
13:02
in the national assembly
13:05
doctors armed legislative power
13:07
in an assembly that was to splits point out
13:09
all men the seamstresses would
13:12
protest for ten years before they
13:14
get some exception to the law but meanwhile
13:16
restaurants and workers started to adjust
13:18
and people's food habits started to change
13:23
moments in the day when the french
13:25
eat our
13:27
extremely codified
13:30
i mean us breakfast between seven
13:32
and eight thirty lunch
13:34
between noon and one thirty
13:36
two that you can observe throughout
13:39
the twentieth century
13:41
but did the law you feel solidify
13:44
that i think it does yeah
13:46
one of the aspects that has been neglected
13:48
in the research on eating times
13:51
in french history french history
13:53
impact of the law
13:55
definitely had this conversation with my
13:57
fiance because at home we
14:00
the decide how we eat one
14:01
we eat again or listener caitlin
14:03
and
14:05
my eating snacks at random
14:07
times was not conducive to
14:09
his idea of setting mealtimes
14:11
and so he's definitely tried to convince me that this
14:14
the this the this better way to go
14:16
arquette he doesn't work know what
14:18
is it what what if any arguments
14:20
because he made
14:21
well the whole idea that you eat
14:24
better if you're not snacking you appreciate
14:26
the food food is meant to be shared
14:28
with conviviality and you have to sit
14:30
down and enjoy it i hear
14:32
that i just don't buy it
14:35
notice the arguments that caitlin fiance does not
14:37
make he doesn't say that the reason
14:39
french adopted this approach because mechanical
14:41
ventilation had been invented yet
14:43
they needed to protect workers hygiene the
14:46
didn't make an argument about work at all his
14:48
argument is about food and
14:51
the values around eating it
14:57
martin says this is the great misunderstanding
15:00
of most french people today to
15:02
think that the french lunch break was
15:04
invented to protect a once i
15:07
mean the reason why eating
15:10
, regulated had nothing to do with
15:13
with actual content off the plate
15:15
or so and everything with an
15:18
environment in which the which
15:20
was taken so
15:23
maybe the way to help caitlin with her
15:25
workplace cultural challenge with to
15:28
make cultural challenge for the french lunch break that she had not
15:30
heard before not about the
15:32
importance of food and not
15:34
about the nature being friends but hard
15:37
cold research about why lunch
15:39
break outside the job is better
15:41
for work the
15:43
only question is would caitlin
15:46
but
15:47
i came into this totally prepared
15:49
to defend my american productivity
15:52
and i think my argument is crumbling
15:55
rough translation makes the case

16:38
here's eleanor beardsley has more in february
16:40
twenty twenty one and for deaths recovered
16:42
nineteen and france were on the rise
16:45
president emmanuel my crawlies said to be conflicted
16:47
as a huddles with scientific advisors
16:50
he knows
16:50
the government closed restaurants it was telling
16:52
workers to stay at home sliminess
16:55
that was am pushing more sustainable
16:57
value on the cell all scenarios interval
16:59
and so perhaps it was inevitable that
17:01
the lunch break law born in one
17:03
public health crisis was suspended
17:06
is another france with no longer
17:08
require people to leave work during lunch and
17:10
for some conservative commentators sits
17:12
in the regular says
17:15
not living was cause for celebration
17:18
cities throughout the all a lot
17:20
to the with consider this
17:22
really you don't know why
17:25
should the government regulate eating they said
17:27
this is typical bureaucratic overreach
17:29
which martin
17:31
did not like very much i felt
17:33
it was my responsibility as a
17:35
historian but also sir citizen
17:38
martin feared the president microns heading
17:40
into an election made appease the conservatives
17:42
by abolishing the spot permanently and
17:45
martin as in a story and it's seen how culture
17:47
change can come in times of crisis
17:50
we sat down his computer to research the reasons
17:52
that workers would still need this piece of
17:54
labor code in the twenty first century
17:56
he poured through trade journals ergonomic
17:58
studies happiness the
18:00
compiling every scientific argument he could
18:02
find for lunching outside work
18:06
hey gail any the yeah
18:08
hi
18:08
the when i called caitlin back i came armed
18:11
with mertens research
18:12
if you succeed where as all of
18:15
the french people in my life have not succeeded this
18:17
would be
18:18
it's okay we have an on record here
18:20
we go let
18:23
me make a health arguments a
18:25
full lunch break tracks with better
18:28
health outcomes because you're not snacking so much
18:31
less depression less burnout
18:34
or job satisfaction i knew people
18:36
are simply happier to
18:39
take a break some
18:42
down times during the workday
18:44
it's good for their well being
18:46
what he says us
18:50
happiness and success sex and so
18:52
i'm pretty happy and i don't
18:54
feel overstressed what stresses
18:56
me out is when i have to step
18:59
away and i know what's on my to
19:01
do list then i can't get
19:03
anything done a my lunch break
19:08
okay productivity i really
19:11
like productivity
19:12
okay if you like productivity secures an argument
19:15
the french love to say that with their thirty five hour workweek
19:17
their their directly more productive much
19:19
more productive than what is usually
19:22
said about them and one of the arguments
19:24
is to say to of segmented time so
19:27
if you know you have to get everything done before
19:29
noon and you can't do anything until one
19:31
thirty you're going to get everything done in the three hours
19:33
okay that i buy a little bit because
19:36
our meetings are incredibly productive
19:38
we've sort and the max length of our meetings
19:41
down to like forty minutes
19:44
he has an
19:47
artifact it's difficult to the teacher
19:49
because i have classes in the afternoon
19:51
and when i get some past i just wanna go home so
19:55
my colleagues will stay pretty late of
19:57
dental seven trying to get
19:59
stuff done next day i'm thinking
20:01
you could have done that at lunchtime right
20:04
you want to get it out them of relief okay
20:09
the var i was not doing well
20:11
there was another argument that martin
20:13
did mentioned and actually the argument
20:16
we heard most often in the french beast
20:18
jos the
20:21
, a break with coworkers made work
20:24
more collaborative collaborative course
20:26
of course it's a moment
20:28
so for sharing
20:31
say sauce say
20:34
they said that is easier to work together
20:36
if you understand that way that they sing
20:38
with a thin would say they
20:41
are actually and you understand
20:43
why do they
20:44
the thing no to the thing i asked them to do this
20:47
why do they work like that old
20:49
and something going on in your life maybe that's
20:51
why your stress with ,
20:53
to drain drain
20:55
the town and have some why
20:59
they have less complex like you have more
21:01
innocent it's only have innocent it's
21:04
the next sources of from goes and
21:07
since israel first assets worth it
21:09
is are like are lot of people said that
21:11
it made them
21:11
their about their colleagues more that
21:14
it made conflict easier several people
21:16
brother effect silly okay
21:20
new arguments there's
21:23
fewer conflicts between coworkers
21:27
when they know each other better
21:29
none work way meaning they've created
21:31
connections with each other they know each other's people
21:34
not just his colleagues that
21:36
i buy you do buy
21:38
the buyer yeah my colleagues i get along
21:40
really well because i
21:42
know the names of their spouses
21:44
and kids and and we talked
21:46
about life whereas
21:49
that has always been the case in
21:51
other work environments where haven't taken lunch time
21:54
with my colleagues my
21:56
colleague last week his dad passed away and
21:58
i knew every step of the way because
22:00
every day we would check in and so
22:02
i knew how the progress is
22:04
going and it it
22:06
it definitely helps create community in
22:09
a way that's not difficult
22:16
in every good film noir
22:18
eerie that moment when the private
22:21
i realized that his client has been concealing
22:23
simply fact that will crack the case
22:26
and , case the key factor was missing
22:28
was probably my mistake i said
22:31
this image from her voicemail of for
22:33
eating the secret solitary salad
22:35
at her laptop and so i called
22:37
caitlin on a mission to convince her to share
22:40
lunchtime with her colleagues but
22:42
now i realized i only have half the
22:44
story
22:45
when answer describe for ideal lunch
22:48
yet starts with salad and the to
22:50
do this alone so i can
22:52
eat my salad
22:54
in get , few things such
22:57
as my list and then and
23:00
is when at that moment my colleagues are coming
23:02
back from there the
23:04
headlines and they're on
23:06
their weight or coffee time which is in a separate
23:09
spot and a separate place and
23:12
so i'll join them for them second
23:14
half
23:15
you don't have to go out of your way to do it because
23:17
that time is built into your daily
23:21
think about everything she does not have to do she
23:23
doesn't have to schedule a lunch with a coworker
23:26
chestnut think about whether they'll be busy
23:28
or whether she'll be busy just enough to make
23:30
a resolution to take more rest time
23:33
or hope for coworker has done the same
23:36
the just built into the flow of the day
23:37
that's very true and i think i've
23:39
been in france for too long because i started to take for
23:42
granted that like of course we're all gonna stop
23:44
gloat at the same time so it's
23:46
easy for me to say that i love my productive lunch but
23:49
i think if think were to go back to back us work environment
23:51
work environment be sucked and frustrated
23:54
that we don't have that
23:56
if minute really i
23:58
think so that this the
24:01
what do you mean i mean like you use
24:03
you wanna be at a place that has
24:05
a shared months you just don't always want to share it
24:07
stinks i said caitlin ,
24:09
found a workaround a way to have her
24:12
lunch and eat it too compromise
24:19
even the coffee time that she casually joins
24:21
last longer than many americans entire
24:23
lunch break but the problem with
24:26
statements compromise and she knows this
24:28
herself is that if everyone took
24:30
this on demand approach to france lensing
24:32
there would be no collective lunch for her to
24:34
dutch in and out of says
24:36
freeloading some everybody else is
24:38
most of these reloading rights i
24:41
was talking about this of cats laszlo who we sent
24:43
to the french bistro
24:45
my arguments they tell their had seem to change caitlin
24:47
slaves
24:48
she brought up his other arguments i may be another
24:51
thing that she's missing is interacting with people
24:53
in different fields gathers
24:57
, a same as axa here right
25:00
now i just finished the pay you you
25:02
chance with the guys on his pension
25:04
and it's really from a whole different working class
25:07
cyclical number and they know each other
25:09
and they talk about their day and they know
25:11
what's going on in each other's lives sick weber
25:13
said ellison there was another to
25:15
people who i like walked up and assume they
25:17
assume mother and son or something
25:20
as they were complete strangers who does wound up
25:22
at the same table and were like ever does having lunch
25:24
together about her was
25:26
unsettling get
25:29
it
25:31
and i think there's also like a sense of community
25:33
in that
25:35
in essence of opening your mind because you're talking
25:37
to people mostly from the say
25:39
they says oh my goodness
25:42
well and i think maybe that's something
25:44
you would miss if he didn't go out
25:46
that is the to me the
25:48
the ideal lunsford things
25:51
happen martin also makes this
25:53
case the value of random
25:55
encounters on a lunch break in
25:58
the funny thing about this argument is that
26:00
that really about making you happy or
26:02
or making you more productive or about
26:04
greasing the relationship wheels your coworkers
26:08
lawrence's it there's just a value to lots
26:10
of people collectively sharing
26:12
space with the same time and talking about whatever
26:15
then plane conversations and
26:17
unexpected rendezvous
26:19
it might just made the
26:22
park your next big idea or
26:24
change your life there
26:26
any breakthrough
26:29
or anything that's happened for you that
26:31
wouldn't have happened without the
26:33
shared well midnight
26:37
movies
26:45
what is the story of how you met your life is
26:47
you don't mind telling is
26:51
that story have you say mother unit
26:54
start to the student puppets see
26:56
was working at the national
26:59
, most most
27:01
arts and traditions to look at
27:03
traditional puppets she catches
27:05
the eye of a food culture researcher
27:08
and aussie half and to go
27:10
with food they're looting as popular
27:12
food popular and
27:15
i saw her and
27:17
i approached
27:20
but martin does not want to be so bold
27:22
as to just ask her out on the date
27:26
enter pretty tough to t shared
27:29
lunch v
27:32
, cleanse to get summer the social
27:34
cost is lowered doesn't
27:36
have to ask her out he could just joined
27:38
her and her friends and so
27:41
that's how we got to know each other you
27:43
saying the customer the shared months gave me the courage
27:45
to ask rather day in the possibility
27:48
also have a a
27:50
there is a lot going on in on
27:54
from lunch you can go to dinner
27:56
and to the movies and the
27:59
rest is movies i'm not
28:04
the history
28:07
of rest as martin wrote it in his defense
28:09
of the french landslide followed by
28:11
his hope for outcome the suspension
28:14
of the law with allowed to expire
28:16
the law with not abolished it is
28:18
once again the didn't see it lunch
28:20
at your desk in france they've been
28:22
told she's actually okay with that
28:25
he's realized she'd rather live in a culture
28:27
with a custom of shared lunch even
28:29
if it's not one that she always plans to share
28:32
if i were to conform to everything that
28:34
since people want me to do it
28:36
wouldn't feel like me similarly
28:40
new there's enough things that are like
28:42
in late in france that you have to
28:45
i want some liberty on my lunch time give
28:47
me liberty or yeah sore give me
28:50
sacks can be safe
28:53
when heated by glucose osu
28:55
as the lot more faster those
29:00
lovely at the man
29:03
one a
29:05
if you have been listening to this focused on
29:07
your lunch break or the average lunch break
29:09
in the us is thirty six minutes
29:12
which means that if your lunch break has
29:14
ended before this podcast dead
