I think the article blames a little too much on cafeterias for the problems of urban development in transitional neighborhoods. It can’t all be pinned on whether companies should feed employees. People do more than just eat around their office building. Gyms, dry cleaners, hair salons, shopping all can be accomplished near your office despite being fed inside the building. However food is clearly a contributing factor as this article shows. It is a fascinating observation.
