Retail stores put high-margin items in key locations (next to checkout, at eye level, etc.) or companies actually pay for these spots. In a company kitchen/snack area, why not put the healthy options there? Everyone still makes their own decisions, just like anywhere else. Isn't this optimization more in the employees' interest than putting the cheapest items there (e.g. soda)?

(I'm at Google. I think these kinds of nudges are mostly good. Though it's certainly something to joke about.)
