Ehh. I could see it either way. "I joke but also I'm serious". Food is my second biggest expense (after ofc rent) - decent lunch is $15-$20 (more with delivery) in my area. For the summer I worked in MV, it was that for a mediocre lunch (nothing good nearby). 15 * 5 * 52 = $3,900. If the company covers it, it's pre-tax to me; if I cover it that's more like $7k out of my salary. (Plus the time to wrangle colleagues and figure out where, transit time, etc) Having food supplied? Actually of pretty substantial value, even if it's not on the level of, say, American health insurance. (Plus, you know, I can buy a house if I don't spend $5 on coffee everyday!)
