Do you think it's disrespectful or clever to use Holy Communion wafers as a snack?

I was shocked to read that people are going to the grocery store and buying communion wafers – for a diet snack food. They eat them by themselves or use them in dip. It’s very popular in Quebec that was largely Catholic for hundreds of years but is now turning secular. Is this trend another sign of society losing respect for ancient Christian tradition? A smart idea that will really catch on? Or the beginning of the end for Christianity? In some countries you can buy a bag of whole wheat wafers from nuns for five bucks.
