Most workers don't get a lot of time to do that type of thing these days. Lunch times are shorter, breaks are less frequent, deadlines are enforced, etc.
Personal NEEDS would be eating, using the restroom, making or receiving an emergency call, hopefully getting out of the building for a lunch break.
Years ago, as a secretary in NY, we worked 9-5, with a full hour for lunch, and two 15-minute breaks (1 morning, 1 afternoon). This gave us plenty of time to make phone calls, get outdoors, eat and drink, talk with co-workers, etc. Back then we were usually fully medically insured immediately or within one month after being hired.
We were not half as stressed as the people of today in offices. We had time to think of other things--could go shopping at lunchtime, etc.
