Office eaters

It's (almost) always fun when someone holds a mirror up to our daily routine. The Sydney Morning Herald recently ran a piece that categorizes the ways people eat in office environments. I don't know that I'm familiar with the folks that eat cereal throughout their workday, but I can definitely relate to the image of folks creating mini assembly lines for sandwiches and salads at their desks, as well as those with a seemingly endless supply of plastic snack tubs. The myriad of smells that come out of a high-traffic office microwave also gets a nod, as does the offensive tuna can left to stink in the trash.

I suggested they try to make it "au natural"--that is, a third cup plain popcorn in a brown lunchbag, heated for about 2:30--add some melted butter if you like. No luck.
