Leaving aside health issues to those involved, people who use smartphones whilst there pose health risks to others especially when preparing food.

These people are likely to wash their hands afterwards then think nothing of answering their smartphones when preparing food. I'm surprised that health officials don't make a much bigger deal of the fact.

2.7 liters to 3.7 liters of water per day?? That's got to include the water we get from food, right? Is anyone here seriously drinking 128 ounces of water per day? I'd always heard 64 ounces as a guideline, but that's like half. How could the guidelines vary by that much?

Can't prolonged sitting and coding cause these issues?

Some of them! The ones related to your butthole being out and lower than your spread cheeks, probably not. Unless you know some wild programming tricks that I don't.
