I work at what I considered a McDonalds desert until I started biking to work. I convince myself that somehow my 5 minute jaunt to Micky D's burns the roughly 600-700 calories I consume there.

Sure, just like double sizing the Diet coke melts away the calories of a double order of fries and Big Mac; works for me!

Well it might not melt calories, but at least it doesn't add...

A major employer in my area is doing the same, but it's for ADA considerations. It's "not fair" to offer a resource that excludes some.
