Midday munchies

tugrikOne of the nastiest dietary problems I have right now is the one known as Lunch While At Work.
Everybody at my company eats out. Everybody. I've fallen into the same habit. I haven't made and brought my own lunch in the entire 3 year timespan I've been at this company. This is, to say the least, unwise. Usually we end up at fast food. If not there then an indian buffet place, or maybe Pasta Pomodoro or a chinese restaurant. With the exception of the rare trip to Fresh Choice and such places most of them are pretty high calorie / not-that-great-forya foods.
But, what's the solution? If you have a solid 1 to 1.5 hours midday, a lunch budget, the urge to get out of the office to get a brain-break and a lifestyle that leads to almost no prep time for bringing a lunch to work, where do you go? I'm probably just going to have to kick my own tail into preparing lunches at home and bringing them in. I just wish that between all the fast food and junk food lunch-sites there was a little building with the sign "Healthy food that you want." I'd be happy to give them money each day in exchange for healthy, decent food that varied enough to keep me coming back. Believe me, I'd love nothing more than to never give money (and take calories from) a fast food place again.
