I've heard people talk about how 40 years ago, or less than that, if you asked someone to put out their cigarette in the office, everyone would think you were some kind of jerk.

Now no one smokes, but we have an obesity/diabetes epidemic, and people bring in homemade cookies or brownies every day.

I can just imagine the uproar if anyone proposed a sugar free office though.

Thankfully brownies don't make everyone stink.

I think some people's cologne/perfume stinks, but I don't see anyone trying to ban that. Some people have asthma complications due to second hand fragrance.

Should we mandate showers too? I've known some people who didn't practice proper hygiene and had a rather repulsive smell. Maybe we should forcibly scrub them down.
