[quote=Anonymous]I'm with the PP - I truly don't get this thread and what the big issue is. I'm a Federal employee and I work 9-10 hour days every day. I pack a big lunchbox with leftovers and snacks. I keep extra snacks and drinks in the my desk. I never buy anything at work and I am perfectly fed throughout my day. It's not that difficult. Yes, I realize that I have the option of going out to get something, and nannies can swing by a grocery store or other faster food place and grab something on their way home from Gymboree or whatever too. Most MBs also would be happy to provide lunch for a nanny who forgot to pack something for the day too.

I don't get what the OP would feel satisfied with here. Do you think MBs should allow free access to all their own food?  Is that enough?  Or should they pick up food the nanny wants and make sure to stock it in the house?  Or does a "hot meal" need to be provided daily?  What happens if the MB doesn't have a chance that night to pick up the grocery list for her nanny and doesn't have exactly what the nanny wants to eat the next day?

Sorry for taking it a bit far, but I just really don't understand why nannies can't be adults about making sure they have adequate nutrition for the day just like all the rest of us do?

An I know, OP, you'll say that a nanny can't just leave her job any time she gets hungry and go buy something. Most of the other jobs can't just randomly leave their jobs at any time either, but yes, I do see that a nanny would have less access to food if were, say, home with an infant all day, but most of us MBs have said we have happily extended a please help yourself to a snack.

Maybe OP is a troll trying to wind us all up?[/quote]
