Psychology says people who carry snacks everywhere may be creating a psychological safety net

The snack tucked into someone's bag can sometimes represent more than simply having something to eat. It may provide a sense ofpreparedness, control and reassurance. That doesn't necessarily mean the person expects something to go wrong. They may simply feel more comfortable knowing that if an unexpected situation arises, they've already taken a small step to prepare for it.
