Just so you know...
Also, I have a short rant on snacking. It's bad for you, all the research you've seen recently on that "it keeps your metabolism up" and similar is flawed because it is lacking one part. Human psychology. When you have a proper meal, with other people, you are under a bit of social pressure. You can't eat like a pig and shovel food in, you can't have several plates worth, and you can't eat the worst possible things for you. All the other people (well, I will at least) will say, "What the hell? C'mon, that's disgusting." We eat together not only for the enjoyment of it, but to keep each other in check.
If you are just snacking, you generally do it alone. Generally snacking foods are highly processed, and easy to eat a lot of; so you can sit there the entire afternoon and just push food into your disgorged gullet. That's the problem with eating habits in North America, set meal times are a thing of the past. People just tend to eat all the time. So dammit people, phone up some friends, go to dinner or make dinner with them, sit down and enjoy yourselves.
The reason I say this is two reasons. The first is that one of my French friends who visited the US noticed they had no fixed meal times, and everyone was just constantly eating, and he was both disgusted and frustrated. The other was that I've known quite a few girls over the years, and most especially in Paris, and they are all prone to snacking. Guess who got fat? Wait for you meals people.

Head shake Josh...if one can manage to eat a piece of fruit with a little cheese and a few crackers, not a bad snack. But if one is eating Snackables or something, they should probably get their tastebuds checked. If only people had taste.
