Not all snacks foods are unhealthy, or "designed" to be more appealing than prepared foods.  There are many healty snacks, such as fruits and vegetables, cheese and crackers, whole wheat bagels, etc, that do not fall into the category described above.  This article largely ignores these types of snacks, and the variety of reasons people have for consuming snacks.  There are groups of people who eat 6 to 8 times a day to help maintain their caloric intakes, to deal with pregnancies, or to be more in tuned with their diets.  Snacks can be used to supplement a healthier lifestyle for many people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.211.174.41 (talk • contribs) 
:Hence the use of the term 'often'.  What suggestions would you make?  And stop adding candy necklaces, it is covered in 'hard candy'.  The list is for an overview, not a comprehensive list of all snacks; there is a page for that.  A bias tag is not a minor edit.  WLU 18:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: All snack foods are designed to be less perishable, more durable and more appealing.  An apple is less perishable and easier to transport than a roast beef dinner, but does not have sweeteners and preservatives.  Ditto for cheese versus cereal with milk or scrambled eggs.  A plain rice cake within the context of a snack food is more appealing because it is quick, portable, and probably salty.  Now there's an 'or' so it's not exclusive.  The page is about snack food, not snacking.  Most snack foods are junk food, witness the general porkiness of Americans we keep hearing about.  Snacks are now framed in terms of processed when it's unhealthy.  You can suck on a candy necklace, and it's still far too specific a term when compared to the rest of the list.

:Snack food encapsulates more than just processed junk food, but there's less to say about it so less info in the text.  WLU 00:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hit 40, and you'll discover your snack foods change by necessity.  I'd say the bias for less healthy in the entry tends to reflect the age group of those editing.  I also grew up (quite happily) with carrot sticks in my lunch bag, but again, that might be a generational thing.  68.63.165.28 15:16, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  ALL snack foods are portable? 

message: I've tagged this article as not representing a worldwide view of the subject as it represents an almost exclusively Western European view of snack foods and snacking. Even the gallery only shows images of western foods. Furthermore, typical oriental snack foods are referred to as "international" snacks. This definitely needs to be addressed. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 07:34, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

message: What are the notability guidelines for snack products? Obviously snack foods are rarely referenced by other works, since they're just things you just buy or make and eat.  A previous snack food article Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Soft salad was deleted, however probably a majority of snack food articles on Wikipedia fall under the same level of non-notability, which makes me worried. Is a huge cull in order? --Bxj (talk) 09:59, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
