I’ve spent the last six years in media taking cues from colleagues that lunch breaks are for the weak. Not to mention, our mind could use a little reset, too. Death to the desk lunch!ĭesk lunches need to end, if for nothing else, our overstrained eyes need a screen break our stiff leggys need a stretch beyond the ten steps to our office fridge and back our bodies need proper fuel to get through the remaining five to six hours left on the clock. The next question I posed: What exactly constitutes a lunch break? Soon, I was inundated with DMs stating the same sad phrase: “I eat at my desk.” However, in truth, I was more surprised that almost two-thirds of my followers do break for lunch-that’s much higher than what I’ve witnessed in my workplaces over the years. What’s up with the other 37 percent? Aren’t they hungry? Through a very scientific poll conducted via my Instagram, I discovered that only 63 percent of people in my network take a regular lunch break.
