台灣四界攏看會著便當店，中晝頓真濟人食便當。這个習慣真早就有，毋過啥物時陣食？食啥物？佮以早無仝。便當生理變好，毋但是生活方式改變所致，公家機關的政策嘛有關係。

Bento shops can be found everywhere in Taiwan, and many people eat bento for lunch. This practice has existed for a long time; however, the occasions on which they are eaten and what they contain are different from the past. The booming success of the bento industry is not only a result of changing lifestyles but is also related to the policies of government institutions.
