In fact, more than 10 million Americans need to maintain such grueling hours, while recognizing that addiction to clinical work is not always the motivating factor. But considering the fact that the U.S. is "the only developed nation without mandatory vacation time," even those most concerned with the economy still satisfy compulsions have to suffer similar subsidiary, effects emotional, mental and even physical appearance.

Huffington Post conducted an informal survey to look at how respondents use their lunch hours - and the results were pretty dismal. About 60% said they spend 20 minutes or less to eat, and 20% take 10 minutes or less, and 25% reported never even bother to leave their desks.
