UK obesity expert has warned about taking cake into work
"An international watchdog has found bringing food into the workplace is as harmful to colleagues as passive smoking - as an Australian expert say more needs to be done to promote healthy eating at work.
Professor Susan Jebb, chairwoman of the UK's Food Standards Agency, has argued that passive smoke inflicts harm on others 'and exactly the same is true of food'.
Prof. Jebb said that bringing in cakes and other junk food encourages poor eating habits.
'If nobody brought in cakes into the office, I would not eat cakes in the day, but because people do bring cakes in, I eat them. "
