Germans' Bedtime Dining Habits Revealed: Mixed Acceptance

A recent survey by YouGov has revealed insights into Germans' dining habits, specifically focusing on the practice of eating in bed. The findings show a mixed acceptance of this behaviour, with a significant portion of respondents finding it unacceptable.

The survey found that a majority of Germans, 51%, never eat in bed. However, younger individuals tend to be more lenient with this habit, with a higher frequency of eating in bed. Only 7% of respondents eat frequently or very frequently in bed, while 14% do so sometimes. Meanwhile, 26% of respondents rarely eat in bed.

The acceptance of eating in bed varies among Germans. While 40% consider it acceptable, a larger portion, 54%, find it completely or rather unacceptable.

In conclusion, while a significant number of Germans never eat in bed, a considerable minority do engage in this behaviour, with younger individuals being more likely to do so. The acceptance of eating in bed is divided, with slightly more respondents finding it unacceptable than acceptable.
