average time to eat lunch
So how long do school children get to eat lunch? The average elementary school student gets about 20 minutes. That 20 minutes isnât just devoted to sitting down and eating, either. It includes washing hands, walking to the lunchroom, waiting in line, paying, eating, socializing and bussing the lunch tray. To put that into perspective, the average adult gets 30-60 minutes to do the same thing.
