Google eats no evil

Google NYC microkitchen

Busi­ness Week reports the com­pany has mod­i­fied its famous free food pol­icy to include healthy fare. Googlers squawked when their microkitchens were stocked with more fruits and fewer donuts.

As John Cook points out, life at google is not rough. Employ­ees can bring their dogs to work, where free dog food is also avail­able in microkitchens.

Less gen­er­ous com­pa­nies like Cater­pil­lar are sub­si­diz­ing gar­den­burg­ers and sal­ads in their lunchrooms.

Microsoft added icons to the menu labels, so employ­ees could find vegan, low-fat and other choices in the company’s 31 cor­po­rate cafe­te­rias. How typ­i­cal of Redmond.

What next? Tread­mills in the cubicles?
