"Do those killjoys think we don’t know cakes aren’t the healthiest snack option?"

Roxanne Sorooshian – Cakes: the unkindest cut of all

"The Royal College of Surgeons' Faculty of Dental Surgery said eating cake and biscuits at work was contributing to obesity and poor oral health.

Tips to reducing sugar intake included keeping it for lunchtime and keeping snacks out of view.

So far, so obvious. Do those killjoys think we don’t know cakes aren’t the healthiest snack option?

Professor Nigel Hunt, dean of the faculty, helpfully points out that sugary snacks are detrimental to health and employees should make a New Year's resolution to "combat cake culture" in 2017.

"While these sweet treats might be well meaning, they are also contributing to the current obesity epidemic and poor oral health," Hunt added."
