Hi,
if you want to realize an 'animated scrolling' effect, you need to
move the scrolling code out of the start callback
in a function which is called periodically by the GUI mainloop. In
Tkinter, you can do that using Toplevel.after to
have a fuction be called after a timeout. Here is your 'meal' class
with the modifications needed to make an
'animated scroll'. I renamed your start method as _scroll_text and
wrote new start and stop methods to start and stop
the scrolling.
Ciao
