Photosynthesis would probably not work too well for people who aren't outside a lot. But there might be other possibilities.

Sounds like a good way to incentivise touching some grass.

I know you're being flippant, but I do like the idea of coming up with a variety of ways for humans to get food which don't require life at all. Finding a way to make a construction worker photosynthetic but also finding a way for an office worker to be chemosynthetic. Hydrogen and methane are in abundance on the planet and bacteria can use them as food. Maybe one day we can too

I agree, those things would be desirable.
