Rob, BMI's fitness director, picked them up from me from a local supermarket.
According the the package they're called, "Mixed Vegetable Chips" and ingredients include sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, green beens, taro, non-hydrogenated canola oil, dextrin and salt.
I took the photo with the gum beside it to provide some perspective as to how small the container actually is.
Care to venture a guess as to the calorie content?
Would you be surprised if I told you that little container has just a hair fewer calories than a large supermarket bag of potato chips?
Having tasted them, if I'm going to spend the calories, I'll take the chips.
I wonder how many people out there buy them to be, "healthier"
(The label below - it's not for the whole container, it's for 100g. According to the top of the container, the net weight is 222g for 999 calories)

My husband and I were at the local Farm Boy store yesterday afternoon and saw the same product.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I was appalled at the price they were charging and felt it was outrageous, but in checking the nutritional information on the package I was thoroughly convinced that this deep fried, processed, preservative packed product was never going cross my lips.
I wonder how many people will have the same reaction that my husband did, though: "Look, there's no cholesterol!"
*sigh*
Hi, I really enjoy your blog. I stumbled across it while reading a Globe & Mail article.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that there are people who are revealing the hypocrisy of the Heart & Stroke Foundation and other organizations.
Keep up the great work!
