I still recall that Tuesday afternoon, when I was at my engineering office in Geelong.
I was feeling exhausted, just like everyone else after a long day slumped over the office desk.
I then headed straight to the kitchen and reached for something that I can eat.
But there was none...
The only things that stand out were those chocolate bars. That glossy wrapper. That fake cocoa smell. That suspicious crunch with 47 ingredients, 13 of which sound like they belong in a chemistry lab...
And then I stood there for 5 mins, realised something that I had forgotten about.
Why are we here? Why are we craving for this thing?
A sugar-overloaded, ultra-processed, additive-packed piece of edible regret.
As a Civil Engineer, I’ve always believed in building things that last. Strong foundations. Solid structures...
Hmm, why aren’t we applying that same logic to our food?
What we eat today lays the foundation for who we become tomorrow.
Sooo. I decide to do something meaningful with my life.
Make snacks!!!
And Gnomnivore was born.
We're not here to make fake snacks. We engineer and build things that are dope!
So if you’re done with the artificial nonsense and ready to snack smarter - welcome to the team.
Let’s demolish junk food culture, one bite at a time!
