A survey of lawyers has found that up to 80% have in the past gone for a day without eating a single meal because of their busy lifestyle. The survey found that lawyers are surviving by eating chocolate and biscuits instead. Nutritionist Fiona Hunter says: “sugary and high fat snacks are meant to be treats, to be enjoyed alongside healthy, balanced meals but it seems that many busy lawyers are choosing these foods because they haven’t got time to cook a proper meal.”
