If you spend all day eating carrot sticks and peanuts and drinking unsweetened iced tea vs. eating Snickers bars and Cheetos and drinking Coca Cola (or whatever), after a few months you’ll see a pretty big difference.
Many people will eat whatever snacks are available against their better judgment, and then regret it later. Having unhealthy snacks there and in people’s faces is a kind of psychological manipulation that takes some people nontrivial willpower to overcome.
If someone really wants candy bars, they can bring them from home.
- Ekaros 4y agoIf someone really wanted healthy options they could have brought them from home. No need for unions for that... Seems like total overreach to me.
- jacobolus 4y agoIf presenting (the most profitable for the vending machine company) choices is the only criterion, we should skip foods and just have vending machines that offer porn magazines, cigarettes, and hard liquor. Or just install slot machines.
- Volundr 4y agoIf people want unhealthy options they can just bring them from home as well. And yeah if the vending machines were the primary reason behind unionizing... Probably an overreaction (then again I'm not going to tell someone else what should be important to them), but in this case it's literally the least of the benefits mentioned.
- 8note 4y agoThat applies just as well to the suggary sweets though? Why make healthy options the expensive one?
