Why Do People Snack?

The most common reasons people snack are because of boredom, stress, or other emotional shifts, as well as not eating enough at regular mealtimes, socializing norms, and the convenience of simply opening a package of food to eat. Lunch is most often the meal that is skipped due to snacking.
