could also be a problem of what to do with many empty
office buildings. People who are used to interacting face to
face with co-workers could find working remotely isolating
and lonely. Finally, if large numbers of digital nomads
descend on areas of natural beauty to work in beautiful
environments, the ecological well-being of these places
could be threatened.

offers outweighs these. besides, the optimal arrangements

Dear Madam,
I am emailing you in response to recent discussions
surrounding the options available in our school canteen.
While I like the food and have no complaints myself, I do
agree that a wider variety of foods should be made
available for students with different preferences and
needs.
The limited selection of foods is certainly a problem for
a number of reasons. For one thing, some students may
have health concerns and they have very few alternatives.
Most of the foods offered are fattening or full of sugar, and
when there are salads available they are often unattractive
and unpalatable. It's not so uncommon, even, for young
people to have problems with their blood pressure and
cholesterol these days and the foods offered in our canteen
are sure to contribute to this. Other students have allergies
and there is nothing at all someone who must follow a
gluten free diet could eat, for example. Variety is important
not only for health reasons though; students have a wide
range of tastes, values and ideologies when it comes to
food and these should all be accommodated as much as
possible. What is more, children are still developing their
taste, so the more diverse types of foods they're exposed
to, especially when it comes to vegetables, the better.
