We are a nation of snackers. Snacks take the place of meals. Snacking takes place anytime and anywhere. And most Americans say any food can be a snack. Meals have generally been defined by time, cultural traditions, the appropriate setting and representation from the various food groups. Now, meals are often created from a collection of snacks. We snack to fuel up. We snack to satisfy a craving. We snack because we are bored or stressed. And of course, we snack because we are busy multi-tasking and often on the move to something more interesting.
