Claire: With being someone who has a problem with binging and over snacking on things, I think this article is a bit silly and its try to promote people to eat at times when it actually isn't needed.
Happygirl: Sounds like food dependency and emotional eating...
CherylR: So basically snack at all times. Yesssss!!!!
Claudine: Snacks don't have to be a bag full of chips or an entire 2 liter soda. It doesn't sound like food dependency at all and I don't believe it encouraging people to eat when it not needed. If someone isn't hungry they aren't going to eat. Thor exception is draw at those like myself (I am...plus size) who snack when bored. The article is simply saying it's okay to snack on these instances, should you feel guilty about snacking.
