About Snack Girl

We started Snack Girl to help people to learn more about the foods they eat every day. Besides, snacks are fun!

Lisa Cain, Ph.D., is an avid snacker, foodie, published author, and mother of 2. An evolutionary biologist by training, she has become obsessed with how food contributes to our overall health.

For example, she is fascinated with the fact that Americans in the 1950's weighed on average MUCH less than they do now. Obviously the root cause of the epidemic is what we eat, and she wants to help people make better decisions about what they eat.

She believes that the study of nutrition is overrated and that we should eat as our ancestors did. Since our ancestors didn't have convenience stores and Starbucks, she decided to write about snacks to help people understand how to decipher food marketing messages.

She is also a big proponent of food that doesn't have any packaging at all.

Matt Cain is an Australian, home chef, father of 2, and software engineer. His family raised him with very little packaged food. They have a lovely vegetable garden, and eat tons of fresh fruits and vegetables. Matt's favorite snack is potato chips. He believes that with a little preparation, great food can be yours.
