Blocked Arteries: Travelers eat more fast food when there is traffic, study says

Traffic roads – and your arteries.

Sudden deceleration is removing automobiles from highways and in a fast food machine, found a new study.

In Los Angeles County, Gridlock Surprise causing a 31 -second delay from miles on driver’s day trips resulted in a 1% jump in visits to fast food restaurants, translating approximately 1.2 million more trips per year, according to a new newspaper of urban Economyics paper

“This is a highly prominent time limitation for decisions about dinner,” told The Post, who is one of the authors of the study University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Rebecca Taylor, who is one of the study’s authors.

“I think of my personal experience is,” Now I’m getting home later. So i really want to spend time cooking a meal? ‘”

Researchers detect them with liquid analyzing the traffic models on the highway touching the West Coast circuit from January 2017 to December 2019, along with GPS data of mobile phones showing how often people were visiting dining spots like Taco Bell or In-n-out.

To understand the devilish Gridlock by promoting the decisions of addicted drivers to choose a greasy nosh, Taylor said “is like comparing 10am at 5am.”

Sudden stickering ups were also linked to a “slight landing” on grocery visits, further strengthening the theory that traffic delays direct people to fast and light meals.

Bill Oakley, a former commercial for “The Simpsons” returned to the fast food reviewer, recalled to take a break for McDonald’s closest pounder “dozens of times” over the years during the delays that cause pain head in his house.

“My patience is a world down, glucose in my brain is low in stress,” said Oakley, 58.

“If that were the 1970s, I would shine a cigarette, but now I would go down from the highway. I will get joy.”

However, decades of research have shown the harmful effects of fast food on human health, including rapid fast nutrition it may have on passenger waist lines.

A 2019 paper study 700 Elementary School staff in New Orleans suggested passengers who had more fast food joints lining their roads on their way straight and also had higher results of body mass index.

The latest newspaper followed that the findings are applicable to a host of ruined traffic cities nationwide, including the Big Apple, which has the institution of a controversial block fee of $ 9-and offer another reason for politicians to try to try pump the brakes in blocking their cities.

“There are many reasons why we may want to reduce traffic, and here is another … It’s an unhealthy eating behavior,” Taylor said.
