Results from the survey can help to develop ways to improve dietary intake .  Aramark has launched a mission to boost nutrition values on menus in colleges, universities, hospital dining rooms and workplace locations.

According to information from the American Heart Association regarding those adults surveyed who usually eat lunch during work hours:

On a stressful day at work 35 percent say the lunch they eat is less healthy than a typical day away from work.  When eating an unhealthy lunch employees under 40 years of age are more likely to be impacted by the cost of healthier food.
