Constant Food Culture

For the second time in the past couple of years, I've been caught off guard by the extent to which Americans can seemingly not get through something without snacking.

The last one was a ceremonial type event at Casper's "Ford Center", which used to be the city's All Events Center before the city marketed the naming rights.  About 1/4 of the way through it people started going out to the concessions and coming back in with nachos. 

Seriously?

The most recent one was the University of Wyoming's recent graduation.  It was a great ceremony and very well done, but not too far in people in the audience went out to get snacks and sodas.

It didn't detract much, but frankly it's weird.  

Anybody ought to be able to get through a serious event without wondering out for junk food.
