Cafeteria = Good ??

Reasons why a (free) cafeteria in the workplace is a good idea.

My personal observations at the College of Pharmacy:

-Medication Therapy Management Center workers come in with McDonalds coffee and breakfast in the morning.
-They eat lunch at McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc.
-They do this every day, sometime going out a third time for milk shakes.
-Then they complain about getting fat.

Yesterday we had a pizza party at work. Today we're having a (homemade) pasta party.

-Everyone partakes of the free food.
-It's healthier than the crap they'd be paying for outside.
-They'll have less reason to complain.

If you opened a company funded cafeteria (anywhere), and made sure the food was super tasty (and healthy), I bet your employees would eat there most of the time. And enjoy it. And be thankful. And it would be so worth it.

Then we wouldn't have to have these companies going out and making it mandatory for insurance purposes to have all their employees visiting a gym every day. American obesity would decline. And people would stop complaining.

Yeah, it would cost money. But so does forcing a workout plan on overworked people who don't have the time or desire to go to the gym. And then having to fire them and hire new people because the workout plan isn't working.

Oh, America.
