Americans Turn To Snacks!

New York: Forget breakfast, lunch and dinner. People can’t get enough of the in-between.

Big companies report that snack sales are soaring. Net sales of Doritos, Cheetos, Ruffles, PopCorners, Smartfood and SunChips grew by double digits in the second quarter.

That’s partially because people are getting back to their lives outside the home and want food they can eat on the go.

But it’s not just that.

Eating habits have changed, and people are increasingly snacking instead of eating traditional meals.

About 64% of consumers across the world said that they prefer to eat several small meals throughout the day, rather than a few large ones, according to a 2021 snacking survey by Mondelez (MDLZ). That’s up from 59% in 2019. About 62% reported replacing at least one meal a day with snacks. (CNN BUSINESS)

Snacks are not healthy food, but we have built a habit that is hard to break!
