Hungry? Snack on this!
3 Square Meals are so YESTERDAY!!!
Every company that makes or serves food in America has had to digest the same reality: We've become a nation of really weird eaters.
We eat what we want, when we want. No more of this breakfast, lunch and dinner stuff. We snack all day. We casually skip meals. And we want to customize everything we cram into our mouths.
It's as if our social-media habits are going right to our stomachs.
A culture hungry to put its personal stamp on everything it touches is driving some foodmakers and restaurant operators bonkers. At the same time, it's offering all kinds of opportunities to those willing to sprint ahead of the food curve. Nowhere is this trend more palpable than with Millennials.
"Eating weird is the new normal," says Shawn LaPean, executive director of Cal Dining at the University of California- Berkeley, which serves students 30,000 times daily. "If students eat any square meals per day, it might be one. The rest is filled with snacks and food on the go."
These may seem like quirky, student eating habits, but they're evolving into lifetime traits. The numbers are mind-boggling. At least 35% of the meals eaten by Millennials aren't meals at all, but snacks, reports consultancy The Kruse Company. Four in 10 Millennials snack more than once daily, reports research firm Technomic. And only 5% of all consumers eat three square meals a day, says Technomic.
"The idea of a normal day being breakfast, lunch and dinner is a myth," says Ron Paul, president of Technomic.

"The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing." Psalm 34:10
"Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things." Psalm 107:8-9
"Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty." John 6:35
What does God's Story Scripture Teach us about being HUNGRY for God?
Its beyond true that our eating habits are crazy. In fact today I had pumkin pie for breakfast, and random snacks the rest of the day. This time of year we are thinking a lot about food, stuffing ourselves, & eating our food on our own time.
It begs the Questions, Do we snack on our God time? If we seek after the Lord and what he has for us, we will lack NO GOOD THING, we will not be thirsty & be filled with Good things. God Is what we need, he is our bread, or life line.
How can I connect Today's God's Story to my life?
- Ask yourself if you are hungry for God in your life?
- Are sitting down for a Good Meal with Jesus?
- What makes me Hunger for God in my life?
Most of all as it is thanksgiving week, take a moment to REALLY "Thank the Lord for his UNFAILING LOVE, for he SATISFIES..." and gives us all that we want and more.
How can I connect Today's Story, God's Story, and My story to others?
- Pray that your friends this week though surrounded by turkey have a chance to see or reflect on Jesus and that they might come to know Jesus, so they will never Go Hungry or Thirsty.
