Dining Hints For the Casted

If you decide to eat at Taco Bell, be sure you can bend both elbows sufficiently. For some menu items, this is not an issue. But if you are twelve years old (right arm in a cast) and can't hold a Crunchwrap Supreme with both hands, get something smaller.

My daughter was lunching with me today, and she is a sad reminder that you need full mobility and/or hands the size of a catcher's mitt to wrestle one of these into submission. It was akin to watching a dog chase its tail; an exercise in frustration. Except in the dog's case, nacho cheese and sour cream don't get everywhere.

So unless you have help, a plate and a lot of time, choose carefully!
