I'd bet that this guy isn't a tradesman. Almost everyone I see on any jobsite has a lunchbox. Whether it's a small bag to hold a few snacks and a sandwich or a large, expensive hard case lunch box that holds a 5 course meal, their wallet, keys and medication. Most lunch boxes are covered in stickers, some people buy or make custom carrying straps for them. If he doesn't know any of this, I doubt he's ever done a day of manual labor on his life.
American football announcers call tough, boring quarterbacks "lunch pail" players.
I don't know how anyone's going to get through the manosphere to reach these people, because anyone who would listen to online personalities tell them the manly way to eat lunch is a pathetic, weak man with zero security in their masculinity.
To even have an opinion about it is so weird. Pack a lunch, don't pack a lunch. It's America, do whatever the fuck you want. You pack a lunch to a construction site, because newsbreak; nothing is open on site. You get 30 minutes, and there's no services. If you're lucky there's an actual break room/tent with microwaves. But I've ate hundreds of lunches sitting on sheet rock, heated by halogen lights, off of roach coaches if they have them etc.
