I was taken aback when I went to McDonald's and saw row after row of tables with 8 seats each at them. I was there at a slow time so I didn't have to be " forced" to sit with seven other people I didn't know. However, I did imagine what it would be like to share a meal with a bunch of people I didn't know. I didn't like the feeling that came over me when I thought about it. I don't want to share my meal with a stranger under just about any circumstances and yet, we can say that in Sweden they are not opposed to literally or figuratively share their meal with others whether it's giving 59% of their income for taxes or breaking bread in the company of seven unknown people.
