This is a pet peeve of mine with free office snacks, yes. They turn the easiest path into one that's less healthy than I would normally choose, because the less-healthy alternative is free and someone else shops for it, so I can find myself, out of convenience, eating truly junky stuff that I would never buy myself. An unwanted "perk", which just makes my life more difficult! There does seem to be a trend towards providing some healthier options at least. Sparkling water instead of just soft drinks, perhaps some fruit. I usually bring my own stuff anyway, but it's easier if the default options are reasonable. I once DIY'd that by running a little office snack coop full of stuff I preferred (people put money in a jar, and I brought stuff in), but not all workplaces would be happy with someone doing that, and it's hard to compete with free.
