Progress in snacks?

Posted by kathryn in Health News and Snacking

From the Sydney Morning Herald website, an interesting food definition, ultimate snack food. This is apparently a new snack which has been developed by Melbourne scientists. It’s a palm-sized parmesan cheese cracker, topped with organic mashed potato which contains two “natural” additives – an appetite suppressant and a natural compound that increases your liking of the product.

Am I the only one that thinks this sounds horrendous?

I also saw the article and a picture about the ultimate snack food. It looked like a rice cracker plus a little mound of yogurty / moussey sort of stuff. It also cost some horrendous amount of money, can’t remember exactly how much but thousands of $ per serve. Yes …. absolutely the ultimate snack food !!

I would consider a small spoonful of appetite suppressant each afternoon :)

Mum – I didn’t see the photo, I’ll have to go back and see if I can find it. Thanks for that.

Rosie – I’m not sure that appetite is always the actual problem in the middle of the afternoon? I’m not sure the “ultimate snack” works on boredom / frustration / generally being over-it!
