The issue that I see is that when travelling you wouldn't always know what time to eat lunch. The first time I miss lunch because it is a cloudy day and I couldn't tell that it was high noon I will lose interest in the proposal and actively resist it.

That's interesting, I was wondering how things worked in China. The western part of the country must really have a difficult time with the whole timezone thing.
As for lunch, I don't eat lunch at noon, I eat lunch when I'm hungry. Problem solved.
