I think you are placing too much emphasis on the workplace as the cause of obesity. In fact, I think it is probably the opposite.
Socio-economic status is factor. The less educated and poorer you are, the fatter you tend to be. The hardest workers and richest people are not the fattest. It is the uneducated. Look at the floor on Wall Street or the board room at a New York attorney's office (hard working people who tend to work the longest hours). Then go down to the unemployment office and look at the line. Where do you think you'll find the higher percentage of overweight people?
