From this research I have learnt is if I am going to use transport to use seat belts and helmets (delivermen). I can't exaggerate possible health benefits of the food or the speed of the arrival. I also can't condone healthy eating and so can't show people eating loads of pizza over several meals and should be tasteful when trying to create an emotive appeal.
