Default Article: Fight Against Fat Shifts to the Workplace

Across the country, companies, states and schools are taking more
aggressive if perhaps passive-aggressive measures to get an
increasingly overweight society to move more and eat less.

The new methods go beyond putting gyms in office buildings or teaching
children (or adults) the virtues of broccoli.

Our company does everything possible to encourage employees to exercise and
eat healthy. They recently did a major renovation to our exercise center,
hold classes for aerobics, yoga and a couple martial arts type classes.
They've also held self-defense classes for women in the past. I took the
entire series and loved it. It was a lot of exercise and really helpful.
My instructor gave me an A+ and said he would hate to be the fool who tried
to attack me in a parking lot g . Our company cafeteria is great. We
have a wonderful salad bar and they always have vegetables, soup and veggie
burgers available. They've also hold WW at work meetings and the cafeteria
has worked with WW to cut the calories in several entrees. It's very easy
to stick with a healthy woe when eating in the cafeteria. About the only
thing I can complain about is their lack of low-cal salad dressings.
They've served them in the past but found people just didn't use them. I
usually go for a couple of tablespoons of the regular dressing as there are
very few low-cal dressings I like.
