23 Jan 2019 --- US workers are consuming an average of 1,292 calories over their suggested weekly caloric intake from foods they acquire in the workplace. This is among the findings of a new study from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The researchers suggest that healthier food options in the workplace will contribute to the prevention of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and heart diseases.
