It would be the lean chair for me. I expect this is just the usual yes chocolate/ no chocolate debate that they have ad infinitum. Something tells me that our ancestors developed these things to make us more comfortable in our lives. Next thing they will be saying it is better to sleep in caves.
It would be nice to have one in the office to use when you feel like a break from sitting. About 30 minutes would have been good for me 2-3 times a day.
