I went through the other options, like paleo cookies or beef jerky and the reality is that healthier stuff you can order online is really expensive. I don't think it is a startups job to provide full meals or to cater to everyone's dietary preferences - snacks are exactly that, snacks. Something convenient to eat when you are busy and between meals. If you can manage to easily accomodate special requests while getting shopping for stuff done efficiently that's great, but it is really not the startup's job to make sure your high fiber gluten free paleo diet is working for you.
Until companies have an actual full time office manager who can worry about this stuff, it is extremely time consuming to cater to all these preferences and if people are really invested in being healthy they will take the time to purchase and bring the foods they want to eat throughout the day. Even once you have an office manager you have to ask yourself whether spending thousands a month on a huge variety of foods is a good idea. Usually until a company is pretty big it just doesn't make sense.
