FRANCE: EATING ON THE GO
Article Abstract:
Nowadays, lunch is often eaten in a fast-food restaurant, at one's desk, or on transport instead of at home. In 1999, 615mn sandwiches were eaten in France, for a turnover of FFr 9.6bn, and although ham and cheese dominated, sandwiches made with sliced sandwich loaf bread, or Viennese bread, or Scandinavian bread are on the rise. In 1999, automatic vending machines made a turnover of FFr 7.8bn, up 10%. According to a survey by Cofremca Sociovision, 33% of the French eat in the street, and 27% in transports at least once a week. In addition, 32% said that they eat their lunch at their workplace. More than 5% of new products are for snacking, mainly processed meats, dairy products, and beverages, in order to respond to these new habits.

FRANCE: STUDY OF NIBBLERS
Article Abstract:
In an interview with sociologist Jean-Pierre Poulain, published in Points de Vente, he said that the snack market is difficult to determine because nibblers deny that they do so. Jean-Pierre Poulain has published a work on snacking. Nevertheless, it appears that 60% of the French working population eats at work outside of the their mealtimes. The social groups who do so are growing and are represented by jobs in the tertiary sector. Jean-Pierre Poulain notes that the present offer does not meet the demand on this market, particularly for fruit and chilled light snacks, even though manufacturers have begun to note the extent of the market.
