  foods at meetings, in common work areas, and in
  break rooms
• Offer tasty, affordable, and healthful foods in
  vending machines and in cafeterias
• Organize healthy food potlucks
• Receive coupons, subsidies, and discounts for
  purchasing healthy meals either at the worksite
  cafeteria or at restaurants and stores close to
  the workplace

16

• Distribute educational materials at the workplace
  that would provide the hows and whys of
  eating more fruits and vegetables
• Have a knowledge person, like a nutritionist,
  available at work to provide information and
  motivate employees to eat healthier
• Offer incentives for eating 5 a Day
• Gift certificates

What Employers Want
19

• Offer more fruits and vegetables in vending
  machines in place of junk food
• Offer coupons or discounts for healthful food
  items either in the worksite cafeteria or at
  local eateries
• Provide information about personal nutrition

20

• Offer activities before, during, or after work
• Assuming space/facilities and time were given to
  employees to engage in physical activity at work,
  most felt it would be a costly liability if
  someone was injured
• It is best to have a physical activity program
  either run by an outside group or led by
  employees for employees
