We have snacks at home, at school, on the bus, on the train... everywherel And we spend a lot of ^{money on snacks!} On-ave-rcgc, a Brìtish person spends f43 on savoury snacks in a year. The French spend f 12 a year and the ltalians only f 7!

Yogurt. popcorn, cakes, cheese, nuts, bread and biscuits are all popular snacks. but fruit, chocolate and crisps are the nation's favourite snacks.

person! How do they make crisps?

They cut potatoes into thin slices, fry them in oil and then add a lot of salt. You can also make crisps from courgettes, aubergines and other vegetables. Crisps come in a lot of drfferent fl_a_our"s, including beef and onion, salt and pepper, and cappuccino, but cheese flavoured, salted, cheese and onìon, and salt and vinegar are the nation's favourite types.

We love chocolate! We buy it rn supermarkets, newsagents', sports centres and even at petrol stationsl On average, we eat over 7 kg of chocolate a year! That's a lot of chocolatel But chocolate isn't a healthy snack.

It contains a lot of fa_t and sugar. ln the past, schools sold chocolate bars in ycldrng_ma-chlnqs-, but things are changing. Today, a lot of schools only sell healthy snacks
