"No candy and chocolate makes me something something."

So I'm pretty sure my work is trying to kill us...Or keep us alive forever. I'm not sure which. Every year they have this thing during Christmas where you can have yourself weighed by the Health Center and if after New Years you weigh within a pound of your old weight you get a gift certificate. Mine was to Barnes and Noble. They like to encourage us to be healthy. Some time during when all this was going on they removed all of the chocolate from the vending machines and replaced it with healthy stuff, like granola bars and trail mix. Now I like these things as much as anyone, but I'm not willing to pay candy bar prices for them, and sometimes you just need a pick-me-up. Did no one ever tell ACME Labs that chocolate is good for you? You'd think they'd know--medically. And the endorfins! Definitely good for the work force. I think this whole situation would have caused more of an uproar if people hadn't thought it was temporary. Only now--almost April--Christmas is long past. Not the true Christmas, for sure, but I don't think the candy is coming back. Many departments I know of have taken to buying bags full of candy bars which it's members deplete and take turns replenishing. I should do likewise, but have yet to. The problem is if I have it all before me I'll eat it at once. What brings on this post I guess is the fact that I'm studying and I have no study food. Not that I can eat in the lab, but sometimes you just need a kit kat break or something. My study food was established as a freshman in college as peanut M&M's. Later, as a junior I think, when Anatomy finally cracked me and I ended my 8 year abscondment from Mountain Dew, that too became part of my study regiment.

Point of the matter: no one should make anyone else eat healthy. Sure, it's nice that they're supporting people in their healthy endeavors by offering more healthy choices, but what about those of us who have no such aspirations? It's one thing to add more choices, but to take the old ones away? I think it breaks a trust and ruins employee moral.
