My husband works construction, has only a 1/2 hour for lunch, and I make
sure to pack him a snack and a lunch every day. Allan doesn't eat fast
food. The only time he may eat it, is when his boss happens to pick burgers
or subs up and drops them off at the jobsite for the guys. None of his
co-workers eat fast food either. They all have the foresight to pack a
lunch. Maybe they're not the norm, but that's what they do.
