(lygenztia *208) Chips are one of the 4 major food groups. (along with pop)

Was at the arena this weekend and went to the snack bar to get a coffee. Ahead of me in line was a parent with their child, who looked to be around 5.

The youngster was surveying the snacks and the parent said...(and I quote)..."no junk, get something healthy". The child couldn't decide, so the parent says..."oh get some chips...that'll be good. Ketchup or Sour Cream and Onion".

I nearly broke into open laughter. Wow, now that is one healthy choice. Yup, the nutrition in that bag of chips is staggering, especially when you compare it to a donut, or chocolate bar or snack cake. Oh ya, wash it down with a nice can of pop and that's better than some fine home cooking like gramma's!

A one ounce serving of potato chips has a staggering 10 grams of fat! (google it, if you don't believe me)

I'm thinking they probably had some chocolate cake as an appetizer.
