Pamela Waldron doesn't seem to understand this yet, but her entire job depends on people choosing not to take an extra five minutes to pack a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.

They will substitute.

The result would be that the high end restaurants would still exist, but the fast food industry would be gutted, and only vending machines would be profitable.
