or

On the weekend we had “subs” for lunch. I know, not the healthiest of choices but I still made pretty good choices when selecting all the extra’s. Except, mine came with a small bag of chips so I thought I’d grab the baked Lays. They’ve got to be better than the deep fried version – right?
So I had a look at the Nutrition Facts. Sure, there is a lot less fat – I’ll give it that but that list of ingredients?? If I can’t say the words right, what makes me or anyone else think my body knows what to do with it.
I still think eating the “real” thing is better for you, even if it is a bag of chips when the mood strikes you.
And I must tell ya that this week has been a good foodie week!
I hope you all have a fantastic day!

ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. fat is natural
ReplyDeletesodium acid pyrophosphate whatever that is, is not.
Thank you . I don't think fat is the problem, it's fake that's the problem.
ReplyDeleteCount me in with the thumbs up group... emphatically!

Doh! I always grab the baked chips like they are so much healthier. Thanks for this blog post, good wake up call. I am trying to go to eating just all whole, real food.
ReplyDeleteI heard someone say once that if something contains just one ingredient that you cannot say or readily identify its origin, then don't eat it. Ever.
