On a more serious note, I have never read such an inane take. Some foods can go bad in a few hours and need to be kept cold. Not everyone wants to lug ice packs during their commute. Fridge is perfect cool place to store until lunch. Why would anyone care that people put lunches in the fridge?
No food is going to actually go bad in a climate controlled office over 4-5 hours. I assume nobody is bringing raw chicken for lunch. if you are that is a whole different conversation.
OTOH some people may just prefer as a taste matter to have their stuff chilled. that’s understandable.
