"nod off at the wheel for just three seconds on a motorway and you’ll cover the length of about four football pitches"
Not unless you're going over 200mph...

Did make me laugh the 'I'm a qualified nutritionalist and spent years studying the effects of food on the human body'. This is hardly new and is well known by many but never seemingly gets any media attention or actions by groups regarding safety. Surely anyone who has eaten a hearty meal knows that afterwards you get a bit laggy for a period of time, it's not limited to xmas meals.
Some 15 years ago I argued with my sons high school over their proposal to reduce the lunch break, I said this was a massive mistake as pupils would not have recovered from the post meal brain dip, thus their learning capability would be significantly reduced and in some cases could be dangerous were they would be operating certain equipment say in metal/wood work or CT classes and also in sciences. I produced evidence for this and at least whilst my son was there they did not change the lunch time period.
Also the thinking about having lunch too early in the day bang on 12 noon and having an equal amount of lessons post lunch is flawed. Same as when you do training days, post lunch no fecker really wants to be there and they are unfocussed and sleepy.
