Public health minister Anna Soubry sparked controversy on Wednesday when she criticised Britain's 'weird' relationship with food in remarks made to the Daily Telegraph. As well as saying it was "almost possible" to guess a person's background by their size when walking in her constituency, she lamented the rise of TV dinners.

As for office workers, she said she had told staff at her constituency office that they should "take time out to have a meal" for lunch, saying that eating over a keyboard was disgusting.

Are you one of those who finds it hard – either through pressure of work, or habit – to take a proper break at lunchtime? Is taking a full hour an option for you? Do you make an effort not to eat at your desk and really savour your lunch? What is your routine?
