| Isn't that going to depend on where the employee works? Do you mean on average for the whole country or just a community? |

| But you aren't driving 30 minutes to an hour for lunch, right?
Are you asking how far people travel to get their lunch? | |

| drive for lunch?....well I guess that depends on whether I brought my lunch from home, went home, or if I had errands to run while on lunch... | |

I have always had lunch on the premises, I can't be bothered travelling even when I have lived close.
Is it me did that drive just get edited or have I gone completely mad [very possible] | |

| I don't know. I can't figure out what they are asking. I bring my lunch and order Chinese on Friday - too lazy to fight the traffic! | |

| We bring our lunches (or suppers) to work (library is open from 9-9) or order in or go to one of the nearby fast-food places (at least 15 within a mile of the library). We are allowed a half hour for lunch/supper. | |

Pay to call ScottGem for advice ($.75/min) | I "drive" the few minutes it takes to walk to the pantry pick up my lunch sack and get back to my desk 
I agree this question needs a lot of refinement. | |

| Let me see I get 30 minutes for lunch, so I go from my desk to the company break area and eat my sandwich ( tuna today) | |
