I deeply, deeply hate snacks as a cultural thing. The whole concept of eating something between proper meals disgusts me and I can’t stand people who snack. For me, it is a sign of eating through boredom or coping with problems or straightforward gluttony. Like why you can’t wait an hour or two towards the next meal, will you die? Or the sucking feeling in your stomach is so overwhelming that you can’t control yourself?

I cringe when I see Buzzfeed articles about ‘healthy snacks’ or how to organise your fridge so your kids can reach for them. People who it five or six times a day but smaller portions would be okay, but I have never met such person yet. Some claim its healthier to eat smaller portions but still shove regular-sized dinner down your throat.

Don’t get me wrong, dessert is part of a meal, tea is a meal itself, but eating “on the go” or between lunch and tea it’s disgusting. Heck, I even noped out of a date when I saw that the guy I was with bought three doughnuts thinking about eating all of them at once an hour after lunch.
