#4This is something that doesn't get stated enough. Great link.
For example, Richard Branson credits working out and staying in shape with much of his success.
I kind of see physical fitness on two sides--internal and external.
Internally, if you're in better shape you're capable of performing better for longer periods of time. Less time sick, etc.
Externally, there is a lot of social science that thinner, i.e. more attractive, people are viewed as more disciplined, get better promotions, make more money, etc.
That doesn't mean you can't be successful as someone that's not attractive or thin, but all things constant, why put yourself at a disadvantage? I say all of this not as someone who is thin, but someone who's taken a prolonged approach to being in better shape. When I graduated college I was at 255, and now I'm at 200. I could stand to lose some more weight, but the effects of eating better, working out and sleeping better have been of immeasurable benefit.

I guess it's all about balance. A lot of these foods get eaten because they are quick and simple and easy to distribute round the office for late night food runs. I don't see many late night salad delivery joints. I've been guilty of it myself far too often.
That said I completely agree with the article. There's no point working/eating yourself to death if you can't enjoy the proceeds. Take some time out from work/coding. Cook a nice healthy meal and follow up with some exercise.

#6Is pizza that bad? I home cook all pizza ($1-$2 per pizza), and it doesn't seem too bad if you look at the ingredients. Pizza + salad seems perfectly healthy.
Flour + tomato + cheese + onion + garlic + olive oil + whatever you put on your pizza.

#7I totally agree with the argument. I totally disagree with the cost estimates. Unless you're actually going to the grocery store every day (and you need to incorporate that into the amount of time involved), vegetables go bad.
For example, the amount of cilantro they sell at the grocery store is for a dozen servings of this meal.
I just finished throwing out pretty well every ingredient (except the chicken) given in that recipe, because I was away for 3 days!
Cooking for one sucks!

#8I would through in some red meat too for the protein

#9very true. but all the shopping and prep (despite the claim that it is easy) is a big pain in the ass. I'd gladly pay twice as much for healthy fare that was convenient as fast food.
Fortunately, the company I work for provides incredibly fresh organic salad that's as cheap as fast food.
