We have fairly healthy food. The signs are all labeled green, yellow, or red to indicate healthfulness and there's salad and vegetables every day. Of course no one is going to stop you from going up for seconds if that's what you want to do, but I've found I eat much healthier at work because it's difficult and time consuming to prepare that variety of food and vegetables for a single person. One of my coworkers lost 60 pounds since starting.

I know what it takes to keep my weight in check and it's a small subset of what is considered "healthy".

Good for that person. Untill I'd done it, I didn't know how hard it is to do.

Yegge says that the typical experience at Google is +10. Is he wrong?

People joke about the Google 15, but I don't know of anyone that actually put on much weight. I ended up putting on 15-20 pounds, but it was muscle mass that I was trying to gain, so I'm not sure that counts.

Which company are you talking about, if you don't mind?

EDIT: Oh, Google. Funny, I just applied for a job there not ten minutes ago, partly because of things like that.
