March 7/London/PRNewswire -- A whopping 80% of British workers choose junk food over healthy alternatives as a remedy for stress, a recent survey by office fruit delivery company Fruitdrop reveals. Only 7% of Brits eat fruit to raise their spirits on a bad day, instead choosing to reach for comfort foods, such as chocolate, chips and cookies.
Fruitdrop's survey reveals 65% of those choosing unhealthy snacks when stressed reach for sweet treats, with 53% of women favoring chocolate. Many Brits have also adopted the habit of routinely skipping lunch, so it seems natural that cravings for high-energy sugary snacks may surface.
