What’s your favourite snack?
Is it gummy worms? Maybe a bag of salt and vinegar chips? Or how about a bowl of your favourite ice cream?
In Canada, we are a nation of snackers. Surveys show about 80% of us have at least one snack a day.
But our relationship with snack foods is a complicated one.
We often feel guilty when we snack. And we even refer to junk food as a “guilty pleasure.”

Historian Janis Thiessen has a fascinating look into why snack foods are “loved and reviled.”
Now go grab some popcorn and listen!
