Our Obsession with Snacking
By: Mary Smith, Western Mixers, Produce and Nuts, Inc.
Americans are obsessed with SNACKING! Did you know there is a huge decline in the traditional three square meals a day, BUT there is a growing obsession with snacking? So what exactly constitutes a snack?
When the Snack Attacks
-
81% of Americans are snacking at least once a day, with almost half snacking twice or more per day.
-
Snacking peaks in the afternoon and evening. Morning is the least likely time of day for snacking.
-
Top five reasons snacking is on the rise?
-
Part of a healthy diet
-
Need for bite-sized costs
-
Food is everywhere
-
Redefining snacking
-
Desire for variety & fun
Snacking used to be synonymous with unhealthy. "Don't spoil you dinner," was once a common phrase among moms and grandmas. Today's consumer believes eating smaller meals or snacks throughout the day can be just as healthy as eating three bigger meals. Snacking can be a part of a healthy diet.
Many people eat snacks or mini meals now, just for the cost savings. At a lower price point, it's more attractive to eat a quick snack than a more expensive full-priced meal.
It used to be, if you were hungry, you'd either go to a sit-down restaurant or eat something at home. Now food is available everywhere, to grab on the go. Grocery stores, fast food restaurants, gas stations, food trucks even hardware & office supply stores!
Some Americans are reporting they snack more because their definition of a "snack" has evolved and broadened. Past generations equated snacks to nothing more than junk food, today's generations have a wider definition.
Consumers seek pleasure through food, and snacking allows them to have fun and try different things, without great expense or large quantities. Smaller portions let them try a variety of items with less concern for overindulging on calories as well!

Snacking Styles
Consumers snack in different ways for a variety of reasons, and with the rise of snacking; distinct “snackers” are starting to emerge.
Three out of 10 are Healthy “Snackers”, and just about three out of 10 are Bored “Snackers”. Which "Snacker" best describes who you are?
- The Healthy - Mostly eat healthy, nutritious snacks
- The Bored - Snack because there is nothing else to do
- The Starving - Snack because they are hungry all the time
- The Non - Not really much of a ‘snacker”, tend to eat frequent small, healthy meals
- The Social - Tends to snack when they are around others who are snacking
Snacking is changing the way we eat food in America. Go with the flow and put Snacks on your menu! Focus on healthy snacking. Keep it fun and snack on a variety of items.
