It is now over a week since I started the “no junk food” campaign in our home. I went grocery shopping Saturday; it was like going alone through a spooky, enchanted forest. As I went up and down the isles, bright yellow sale tags jumped out at me: Swiss Cake Rolls, 99¢; Lay’s Potato Chips, buy one, get one free; Lay’s Individual Bag Combo Packs, $1 off; Oreos, save 50¢. For a split second, I thought about how long it had been since I had a Lay’s potato chip, then I shook it off and moved quickly on by. As I continued through the store, the tempting tags beckoned to me, but I came out of the grocery victorious, having slain the urges to buy processed foods!
Question: Even though Lay’s Original Potato Chips have a high fat content, they also have a high potassium content. They are made with only sliced, real potatoes, oil, and salt, are preservative free, and have no artificial additives. Does this mean that, in moderation, they would be an acceptable all natural snack?
no
