Would you stop eating fast food if it wasn't so convenient?

A growing number of cities across the United States are banning the construction of new drive-thru windows.   the reason is supposed to improve the health of Americans.

1947 is when the first one opened...and now Minneapolis is the first city to ban drive-thrus.  Other cities are following.

They also think it will help cut down on traffic and littering.

Existing drive-thrus will stay, this is only new construction drive thrus.

What do you think?

I know this will affect parents with kids.  It's just easier to go through the drive through with them... It may deter people from going to one place or the other, because one does have a drive thru.

Interesting for sure...but everyone will just order uber eats then....because we're lazy and we don't have the time.

I'm all for it, only because it really doesn't affect me...I don't really eat fast food, so I don't use this service.  It's probably been 4 -5 months since I've gone through a drive thru. I could handle this change.
