re: Forcing "Healthy" Foods on Employees

Women's ward is rough, balls.

I wish my employer offered something like this. I'm curious, are their lunches discounted? About how much does this lunch cost the employees?

No, that's coming next year, when they put weight, exercise and other requirements on employees.

I really wish our office would do this. But our HR person who heads up the "wellness program" is a 250+ pound woman. Some of the people at our office must not own a mirror, or just DGAF about their health/appearance.

Difference being, the hospital isn't paying the patients.

mashed potatoes to pureed cauliflower is kind of drastic. sounds nasty.

I can't remeber the exact price for my "healthy meal" in the Ochsner cafeteria but it was less than $5 and included a fountain drink. Most of the meals I had there were delicious.

Every corporation should do this.

No, no they shouldn't. Each corporation should independently assess their situation, and determine what's reasonable. I believe, no correct that, I know employee morale is absolutely one of the most important aspects of the work environment. If this isn't popular, and it's not working, then why continue? To prove a point?

And the whole offering healthy only options to employees at work will make a difference line? No it fricking won't. The fatties & whoever else will still eat what the frick they want at home, on the weekends & go out for lunch. But the mouth breathers & do-gooders can tell everyone they're "making a difference", and that's all that matters....intentions.


ETA: Just to be clear, because, I'm sure some moron will misinterpret what I'm saying. I 100% support a company's right to offer whatever they want for lunch. It's absolutely their right. However, if they truly cared about the health & well-being of their employees, they would incentivize it.
