Is the office cake culture making you fat?
We don’t need much of an excuse to indulge in cake and biscuits fetched in by our colleagues at work. Birthdays, engagements, weddings, paydays, or just making it through till Friday are all occasions we find at work to celebrate with a piece of cake.
But our culture to eat cake is getting blamed for fuelling obesity and there are calls to limit the number of treats made available at work. In a study of 1,000 office workers, it found that 86 percent said that treats were bought into the office at least once or twice a week.
The researcher thinks that we need to rethink the office cake culture. But Mark Littlewood from the Institute Of Economic Affairs said telling adults to crack down on cake is just another attempt to nanny adults.
