Now that we have talked about healthy snacking, let’s move
on and talk about unhealthy snacking. This is something that many of us are
guilty of, whether it’s eating those French fries or maybe that buttered
popcorn at the movies. Nonetheless, we are all guilty of having those moods
where we want something unhealthy for us. Overconsumption of these goodies,
however, can lead to numerous health problems such as diabetes, high blood
pressure, to name a few.
Looking at the various snacks that are available on the
market, we have everything we could possibly want: chips, cookies, candy, and
so on. These are snacks that have been around for generations, and snack-food
companies make a good chunk of their profits off these products; this is why
junk food has been pushed on us throughout the years because it is a moneymaker.
To combat the healthy movement, snack food companies have begun producing
healthier versions of their snacks to appeal to those who want to indulge.
The world of snacking has grown exponentially over the last few
decades, and as mentioned before, is a huge moneymaking business worldwide.
People are always going to want to have their snacks, whether they are healthy
or unhealthy, and we will continue to spend our money on them. Many of the
goodies that we enjoy will spoil appetites and diets, but it can be worth it,
if kept in moderation. My challenge this time is to keep track of what snacks
you like and how often you enjoy them. If you are on a diet, what are you doing
to keep these snacks at a minimum? If you’re daring, post your results. Until
then, chip’s ahoy!
