For employers, it pays to keep sugary, fatty sweets around the office. They don't even have to be good
sweets, as almost anything left in an office break room will be consumed very quickly by hungry coworkers. But experts
are saying that
employees who have access to junk food through a vending machine or office refrigerator will work more hours each day.
If a snack like donuts is put out in the morning, employees will regularly begin showing up earlier. Sugar also
increases alertness and boosts productivity. Automated Merchandiser, an industry vending machine publication,
has picked up on this story and is
using it as a selling point to boost in-office sales.
To protect your waistline, it is best to bring snacks from home for eating in the office. A piece of birthday cake once in a while is fine, but when you're having two donuts and a Twinkie for breakfast, it's time to cut back.
