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.

I don’t know what to tell you. Your PB&J can survive out of the refrigerator. otherwise all school children would be dead.

PB&J is not a perishable food. Your ham sandwich is.

Even a ham sandwich is fine for 4 hours. Do you not realize how much sodium is in that shit?

Still wrong https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/leftovers-and-food-safety

“Cold perishable food, such as chicken salad or a platter of deli meats, should be kept at 40° F or below. When serving food at a buffet, keep food hot in chafing dishes, slow cookers, or warming trays. Keep food cold by nesting dishes in bowls of ice or use small serving trays and replace them often. Discard any cold leftovers that have been left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature (1 hour when the temperature is above 90 °F).”

(Putting the ham between two slices of bread doesn’t magically make it safer to store at room temp)

all children are dead from boloney sandwiches

Yeah, you’re totally smarter than all the food scientists. Bravo.

I guess I’m dead because I spent 5 years bringing a turkey or ham sandwich and yogurt to work without refrigerating them. baby carrots too!

The fact you got lucky doesn’t mean it’s safe. I’ll trust the people whose job it is to study these things, not strangers on the internet.

according to who? Because that's total BS

But I also don't eat certain foods at room temperature. My employer provides a large fridge for me to store my lunch and that's what I do. If you don't like it, that is a you problem.
