🍇 The History of Snacking and Why We Do It
Did you know the word snack comes from an old Dutch word meaning to bite?

After World War II, America built a culture around being productive, and that is when modern snacking took off. But chips and cookies are very different from the whole foods people used to eat.
Think of a snack like a pit stop in a car race - you are not stopping for a full meal, just quickly refueling to keep going strong.
