Why does it end so early?

I think one hour is definitly way too short, 1.5h too. I would go for 2h. Else
each meal is a hurry, but with 2h you can actually eat relaxed and have a
chat, take a small nap or prepare your talk :-)

Scheduling stuff in breaks makes them pointless. I generally dont like that.
Though for one day its probably ok, it just shouldnt become the rule.
If possible (see the very first question of this mail) I'd prefer 45 or even
60min breaks too.
