Snacking is an American/Anglo world thing. As are terrible manners in general. Civilized people sit down and eat at the table, and that includes having their children do the same - even for snacks (there are some exceptions, of course). That also goes for devices at the table, either at home or restaurants (truly incredible that people abuse their children this way). Yes, I have very strong opinions on this as a father who's seen that there's another way called "being a parent".

- Xenoamorphous 1y agoAs a spaniard, we had the concept of “merienda” way earlier than any globalisation happened.
- vjvjvjvjghv 1y agoMerienda isn’t mindless snacking though.
