I can chime in a bit in this topic, I've been in similar situations. Comes down to self control, that's easy to say, hard to do...
You need to OWN your diet, OWN what you drink, OWN what you do, OWN all of your actions. I personally will eat a fruit in the morning with a coffee, more coffee throughout the day, mid day I eat either a protein bar (~300cals, or a healthy protein/yogurt/fruit/spinach shake, that can get over 400 cals). I am a really big advocate of fruits, from the sugary-higher calorie bananas (great potassium, bananas are my personal headache killer with a big glass of water), berries, clementines -- easy to eat office fruits.
I personally hate food filled work areas, I have misophonia. I think food should not be in production settings, there should be designated areas for that. Due to some of my coworkers that eat like retarded lhamas and have zero manners (but are insanely smart and talented in their work...), leads me to wearing headphones most of the time.
Mostly sedentary work, I personally eat most of my calories when I am home later after working out/after work.
Resist temptations! Practice healthy habits, build on those habits, habits become habits :)
I also realized I ranted on my reply for you, there is no magic solution other than practicing good habits, practice self control, and then you'll just find yourself making better food choices.
Yes they do play a part and can affect the market, building upon themselves. Then consumer mentality, "consumer confidence" may fall, then spending might fall, things can multiply on each other like this.
Market contraction...but with 10+ years of growth, a contraction is historically likely soon, right? Tough to time a market for sure, but I think the historical trends play into these self-fulfilling consumer sentiment prophecies as well.
The biggest issue with these massive commercial aerospace companies is a huge barrier to entry, like I can only think of Boeing and Airbus that are really legit in this space.
What these companies do/build are insanely difficult, require decades of expertise, infrastructure, so much goes into...are these institutions or companies lol
We lead the world in R&D, we aren't in a surveillance state like China (~1.3B people), we aren't undeveloped, we have the US dollar - the commanding world currency. We develop the best military technology, space technology, most all technology. We issue the most patents, by far. We (as people) have more rights than most all other nations and we led many other rights to attain rights for their own citizens. We protect Europe and the West. We will continue leading the galaxy in space development. We have the best talent in the world. We are Earth's shining civilization.
Staples is doing much better than Office Depot in their space, but both companies are way more focused on their B2B delivery side of the business. They stopped caring about retail side years ago, though what Office Depot did was slimy
What is the product/service that will generate revenue?
- The "start up" is bringing that to the market
- So they're developing, or working to get that product or product pipeline to the market
- That can come in various stages, the company survives this developing stage through various funding (like that series A $)
- I'd consider, are they generating revenue? margins are looking like? P&L / forecasting future sales revenue measuring with margins and profitability
- Size really depends on what is going on, 50 people can mean several things...
So really, I'd consider it out of start up mode once there is a viable product that can be taken/sold in the market and bring in revenue.
I think once it's out there, once $ starts coming in, the company may still grow and hire more or expand and all that, but that's generally a good sign
My answer seems more vague now that I've read it, but its all about the $$$, healthy P&L, and forecasted revenue!
Taking a step back, doesn't that just reduce demand with enough "millennials" that do not have that purchasing power? Or will rich foreigners come in and buy it all up and rent it out to us poor millennials?

Ideally, high ceilings and light are great. A hybrid office type is the best. Offering several different work areas has most advantages.
I like to think of my college library, areas open and no noise restrictions. Other areas closed off/private for hard focus. Some private rooms for group meetings, private rooms for individual work.
Mobile technology has been a great thing, offering all that extra flexibility
