Sunflower seeds - a gateway snack?

Normally, I am able to avoid snacking here at my desk. However, at the grocery store last week, I came across a bag of seeds and it sounded good.

Since I have been snacking on them, my chocolate bar consumption has gone up and so has my soda consumption. Up until this last week, it had been a long time since I had partaken in either.

So, just a note to you kids out there. Sunflower seeds lead to much worse, and potentially more dangerous snacks.

It’s the opposite for me. I snack on sunflower seeds regulary and they usually keep me away from soda or anything sweet.

When I get a bag, I can go through them like nothing, but it does not lead to other snacks for me, for me it leads to more drinking, and usually not just water, I want something sweet and sugary to wash the salt. Also beacuse I only get a bag every so often my mouth ends up raw from the courseness of cracking and spitting the shells out so quickly. Now you’ve got me wanting to go get a bag.
