    Well, these free meals are not really "free". They are improper double taxpayer subsidies: unless Google is adding the value of them to their employess' W-2 forms, you and I pay for them. That is, Google duducts the cost from their taxes, and their employees pay no tax on the benefit. Even the folks in Congress are not so brazen as to make their food "free": http://thehill.com/american/senate-dining-room-where-the-elite-meet-2003-07-16.html

    @ValborgMelbo:Improper? Well, that's your opinion. They're certainly not illegal. As far as I can tell, Google is following all relevant tax rules.
