    Healthier? workplace breakfast / lunch events

    I work in the public sector for a large employer (14,000+). Maybe this happens with employers where there is long-standing programs that promote employee health and wellness:

    Past few years, in my area the breakfast and lunch food at the workplace for large group events have changed or maybe people's eating habits have changed abit:
    *breakfast buffet offering: smaller muffins / large muffins cut in half/, smoothie drinks, fruit juices. Less pop /not just pop offered. Buffet breakfast that includes granola cereal, milk, yogurt and fresh fruit platters.
    * Only half or more of muffins, danishes, cookies or a huge celebratory cake eaten at all. After event the platter of left-overs is placed in communal office floor kitchen....and gets gobbled up in 4 hrs.
    *Lunchtime pizza which we have a workplace social committee that organizes this monthly. I think the numbers have diminished slightly. The committee members do order a selection of healthy pizzas that aren't overloaded with cheese, bacon. And it's thinner crust pizza. Several social committee members do engage regularily in exercise, etc.

    My employer has monthly events and noon hr. free sessions on fitness, health (physical and mental) at various worksites. On our intranet, a featured employee showcased with an interesting job, career path also includes what they like to do off-job and often that includes at least 1 physical activity. Not sure if it's coincidental or inching closer to greater awareness of healthier lifestyle.
