117: Snacking: Trends, Threats & Opportunities – Dr. Shelley Balanko

Snacking, once culturally taboo, is now a legitimate pattern of eating, changing the way we eat and how we are nourished. 50% of all eating occasions are snacks, and consumers have greater expectations for snacks – seeking nourishment, optimization and pleasure. Dr. Shelley Balanko is Senior Vice President with The Hartman Group, a food culture consultancy. In this episode, we explore all things snacking, including when people are snacking, what kinds of snacks they are consuming, the motivation for snacking, and snacking preferences.
