(For non-American readers, they are corn puffs covered with bright orange cheese powder, which dyes your fingertips and gets all over everything.)  Potato chips/crisps are out too.  Corn chips are not too bad if you get the baked kind rather than fried.Coated candies like M&Ms, Skittles, etc. are good but you wanted to avoid junk food.Bread works well, especially some sort of herb/spinach/spicy bread.  Avoid tube biscuits, croissants, and similar pastry, as they can be even greasier and messier than potato chips.Carrot sticks, celery sticks, strips of green pepper, broccoli or cauliflower chunks... there's a tropical root called Jicama ("hee-cah-muh") which is good, moist like a cucumber but firm and crunchy like a carrot, peel it and cut it in strips.  In the store, it looks like a large brown turnip or mutant potato.  Apple wedges or orange wedges (pre-peel the oranges, or the oil from the peel will make hands messy).Have an actual meal before you sit down to play - this keeps snacking to a minimum, and gives folks time to wash their hands after eating without missing play.</blockquote>
