Snack Food Groups
Bready —- Relieves feelings of insecurity and soothes dissatisfaction
Chewy —- Relieves tension/stress and need to slow down and unwind
Creamy —- Helps satisfy need to be nurtured and comforted
Cruchy —- Helps release anxiety and social pressure caused by cultural abrasions
Salty —- Redirects anger, frustration and violence
Sugary —- Helps satisfy the need to give and/or receive love
Knowing why we snack is half the battle…address the cause, not just the effect…
