I tend to agree with this viewpoint. I actually found that my happiness decreased when a company I was working for started providing free lunch every day. The lunch break - along with a change of scenery, a short walk, and the freedom to choose whatever I wanted for lunch - was important for my well being. Also, employees would often complain about the free lunch options on certain days, which is kind of sad. I suppose it would have been different if it were a big campus at a FAANG, though, where they have lots of different restaurants to choose from spread out through multiple buildings. There you still get most of the benefits of the lunch break that I felt I was missing out on. And I assume there are certain efficiency benefits to be had at that scale vs. having thousands of employees all having to fend for themselves.
