How come people in Shuozhou, Shanxi are like this?

I am a local, and I feel that people here like to talk about food no matter what they do. For example, if something happens, they will have lunch a little later, eat at noon 12 on time, and eat after 12, and they will laugh. I think there must be something wrong with eating late, which gives people the feeling that they ate without doing anything. It's hard to describe, but there are many jobs like going to work and doing business, and there is no time, except for family and nanny.
