Jobless folks skipping the drive-thru

Maybe there is a small silver lining to the massive unemployment problem. The Washington Post reports that fast-food breakfast sales are down. Not good news for restaurants, but maybe a little health benefit for those prone to coronary problems.

Of course, prolonged anxiety from not having a job probably does more damage to one's health than the occasional McGriddle on the way to work. I am a strong believer that constant stress is one of the most common causes of premature death. McDonald's loss might be the funeral industry's gain.
