[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a completely bizarre post on many levels.  Why is OP posting--what kind of feedback was she expecting when she uses a title like why is it not OK to feel hunger?  Her closest friends are telling her what she is doing is not ok and then she comes here to what?  Get validation it is okay?

I also don't get this snacking is purely an American thing.  It is pretty universal that in nonimpoverished households all over the world that kids have a snack when they come home from school.  The stretch between lunch and dinner is typically much longer than the stretch between breakfast and lunch.

I went to a French high school and they even served snack (goutee) at the school in the afternoon.  As I recall we had a choice between an apple and a wedge of la Vache Qui Rit or--horrors--a baguette and squares of chocolate.  The bread came straight from the bakery and was warm; we stuck the chocolate squares inside and they melted.  This is what bread and chocolate means and it is quite yummy.

The British have always had afternoon tea with a scone or two.

The Spanish have light tapas to tide them through to their very late dinners.

A snack in the afternoon is not evil,  It is pretty much a world wide thing even among the thinner and of course much superior Europeans.[/quote]

A mid-afternoon snack, especially for children, is really, really common all over the world.  Even adults take a break for coffee or tea and a light snack in many places.  Snacking constantly isn't great, but that doesn't mean that snacking is per se bad.  [/quote]
