Whether it's <1% or >10% of their compensation, any cut should be acknowledged.
You could feed yourself well, delicious and healthy food, 2000 wholesome calories a day, for 5 days a week. 20 days a month where you effectively don't have to buy groceries or eat out.
Food is a part of the compensation package at FB and other companies where money sloshes around in giant buckets.

They get paid less. Plenty of people have left companies like FB et al for smaller companies where you have to buy your own lunch and they're fine. Not sure why you're so excited to pull a "kids these days" here.
