My proposal is that all resturants regardless of classification of food choices be disallowed to operate drive-thru windows. There would also be a law against eating while driving. Eating in a car can result in divided attention while driving and ultimately and accident. Eating while drivig takes the focus away from the food that your eating and hurts the bodies ability to sense when it is full. In addition to safety and satiation, closing down drive-thrus would put an end to alot of late night unhealthy eating which packs on extra calories that the body will not gett a chance to burn.

Having a divided attention is a real hazard. If a person's full attention is not directed toward and action such as driving that persons ability will go down. Talking on a cell phone is targeted alot as a major offense while driving and text messageing has to be worse because you have to take you're eyes off the road. Eating a hamburger cannot be much different. Anything with a spoon would be more difficult, and if a person has multiple food items it would be even more distracting because of picking up and sitting down different items while driving.

As for closing down late night options. (I already have information about the issues with late night eating in my Taco Bell analysis). The stores would probably combat this ultimatum and stay open normally, but as that would still prevent alot of late night eating/driving.

Also guidelines for eating to be full (satiated) suggest sitting down while eating and eating slowly and consentrating out your food. If youre are eating all of your food on the run while driving you probably arn't really paying attention and as a result not feeling as full as you could. Ultimately this can lead to over eating.


Questions:

This seems hard to connect to my original paper. Would if be a good idea to make my proposal exclusivly what Taco Bell needs to do to be a healthier more socially responcible restaurant?

Should my idea about closing drive-thrus include making car eating illegal or is that overkill?
