Nobody has said that one can be healthy living on potato chips and candy. Everything in moderation works for most people, assuming they have some discipline. I only voted for the candy because I think adults should decide how much candy they can or can't afford to eat and Rhea asked us to vote. If you know that you can't eat just one piece of candy, then walk quickly past the candy bowl. But, seriously, if the people in Rhea's office decide to take the candy away, that's their decision. We are simply giving our opinions since we were asked. What I think has absolutely no influence on what Rhea's office decides to do.
All things considered getting worked up at a candy bowl at work is rather silly. Unless you live in a cave i the wilderness you are bombarded with junk food. The propaganda/marketing indoctrination is eat 24./7, just order from yor phone and it arrives at your door.
Walk through a supermarket and there are rows and rows of chips, candy, frozen pizza and ice cream. Temptation is inescapable. The question is how you deal with it.
I just don't see how a bowl of candy in the workplace is an issue.
Have a healthy food pot luck lunch.
Is it sugared or sugar free????
