Crisps, aka Potato chips
They are about the only junk food I like or crave. And, of course, I know they are not good for you. In fact I do believe they are downright bad for you.
BUT, I'm just wondering if the organic kind, fried in expensive not-so-awful oil are so bad. I seem to recall reading that potato chips have carcinogens... something to do with the process of making them, which might apply to the "good" organic kind, too...? Anyone know anything about this?

Beatle,
I can't speak to the carcinogen thing. However, I can tell you that potato chips are a huge downfall of mine. Salt, carbs and fat. A perfect food.  Cindi

I have no idea about the carcinogen thing. Sorry.
When I have a craving it is for something salty and greasy. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, if at all. If you find out about any 'good' chip out there, please let me know! I have tried the 'baked' ones. Might as well chew on a sock and save the calories.

I'm there. Two bowls side by side. One candy, one ptotao chips. I will grab the chips and hide in the corner. Unless it's M&M peanuts. Then I take both bowls.
 Look at the kind of oil. Read the lable.

Lets see i eat Fritos, Cheese Curlz, Chips, um...all that Crunchy Stuff..I do like Wasa Crisp Bread though..it has good fiber. Munch on..it relieves stress!
 Go to any health food store and get sweet potato chips, blue corn and veggie stick snacks..they have no bad oils in them..

Fat is fat, organic or not. Some may not be as bad as others but intake should be limited.
But, if you keep drinking you will be die early for sure. Chips can't be as bad as AL. There are some lower fat ones that are tasty. Abstain from AL, mod the chips and be happy.  Last edited by FloridaBoy : 06-07-2008 at 02:10 AM.

Tims!
There are chips that don't use any hydrogenated or transfats and use better oils like canola or safflower. Tims makes ones with less salt that are fabulous. If weight was not a big issue, I would eat them often. Not sure potato chips really count as holistic healing but who knows?

I think it is A-OK to indulge once in a while. Especially during PMS!
