So are veggie chips the real deal or just a fad?

>> No.5603545

People like to think "OH WOW VEGETABLE CHIPS THESE MUST BE MUCH HEALTHIER THAN POTATO CHIPS!" and grab any random bag. Then demolish the same amount of salt as say, a bag of Lays. The kind of people that jump on things like this don't look at calories or how the chip is actually prepared or care what brand they get. So they'll probably be a fad because the people that want to lose weight by "eating healthier" while they really aren't will move on to the next thing in due time.

I like them though.

Veggie chips are tasty.

I've never had a good popcorn chip so far, though. Those things taste like powdered and re-constituted ass.

Frito-Lay announced Monday that it would, against its better judgment, roll out a new line of healthy fruit-and-vegetable-based chips next February.

"Here," said Frito-Lay CEO Al Carey as he disgustedly tossed a bag of the company's new Flat Earth-brand snack crisps onto the lectern during a meeting with shareholders and members of the press. "Here's some shit that's made from beets. I hope you're all happy now that you have your precious beet chips with the recommended daily serving of fruit, or vegetables, or whatever the hell a 'beet' is."

The place that sells these where I am also sells every root that they're made of.

You get more for your money if you put in the effort and make your own.

All you really need is some basic spices like garlic salt and it already tastes a whole lot like them.

By god you're a flaming retard. Think before you shit the sheets, please?

Different vegetables of different colour tend to offer different nutrients. Potatos only offer 50% your Vitamin C, starch, and 40% your potassium or something? Not really hard-to-obtain vitamins since most people think to have a glass of juice a day you know.

Look at a Sweet potato though, you got 700% your Vitamin A, 50% your manganese, cant be fucked what else. The colour is related to the vitamin density. Think beetroot mixed in, its very pretty on the eyes to see a bunch of chips like that to snack on. The brain is acute to this fact.

>> No.5606916

>>5606908
Yeah, but when you're eating thin slices of vegetables covered in salts and however many preservatives, the very little amount of vitamins you'd get from these things kind of pale in comparison to the amount you'd get just eating a whole, properly prepared vegetable.

Nothing wrong with it, unless you think they are actually considered a healthy snack which a lot of people will.

This. I remember eating these in the early 1990's. The kind of people who did yoga and ate blue corn tortilla chips with organic salsa would put them out at parties. They were pretty clearly marketed as an upscale alternative to potato chips, so much so I believe health food stores sold them. Haven't had them in years, but remember liking the parsnip chips in the mixed bag.

This hardly makes them a fad. They've been around almost as long as sriracha sauce. Did these items (along with avocados) just start appearing on shelves in Peoria?
