Big Food vs. Big Pharma: Companies bet on snacking just as weight loss drugs boom

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/01/kellanova-bets-on-snacking-as-ozempic-wegovy-take-off.html

Millennials and Generation Z consumers are fueling the trend. Younger generations snack more often than older consumers, said Kelsey Olsen, food and drink analyst for market research firm Mintel. Millennials and Gen-Z consumers tend to eat smaller meals that are closer together, creating more occasions to grab a snack.

I'm relatively thin but my wife is always stocking the house with cakes, candy and snacks. It's a wonder I'm not 300lbs.

Many food manufacturers will go broke this next 7yrs.

Any food that doesn’t provide satiety will be on the out.

Nobody is paying $40 for a KFC snack. Nobody is eating bags of chips at $10 each. Back to basics, pasta, potatoes, bread.

Bread and Pasta certainly is

Depends on how far the potato goes from its natural form

They are cheap food along with rice.

Remember when Covid hit we immediately ran out of bread, pasta, rice….. and dunny paper lol 😂

We did not run out of chocolates, icecream, deserts, fast food etc.


If we are to start eating crickets then likely there are no Big Mac’s around with beef

I went to visit someone over the weekend. Typically they always do some type meat heavy bbq. Weather was really good. Ended up having spaghetti for dinner with like 10 grains of mince on my plate  :D
