I grabbed the Ritz Toasted Chips off my Publix snack aisle shelf largely because of the garlic and mozzarella flavor the package proclaimed. Who isn't addicted to such classic Italian flavors?
I then noticed that the chips were "naturally flavored". How refreshing to have somethat was "garlic and mozzarella-like", if you know what I mean.
Then the package description of the contents as being "40% less fat than the leading regular fried potato chips" pushed me over the edge.
Generally, I am an iconclast and skeptic when it comes to the "healthy foods" movement. I have a funny feeling that the products are more about marketing and sales than they are about health. Besides, I never felt the stuff that is supposed to be unhealthy actually is. Hey, we have been eating that stuff for decades with not bump in the mortality rates.
(Don't start me on "global warming")
So, I brought a "healthy" dose of "show me" to my first few chips.
Well, the ultimate snack test is whether you want another one. Heck, I almost couldn't stop. They are crunchy, generous and tasty. A nice substitute for potato chips. I was hooked.
Guilt-ridden I started to look for excuses for eating a whole bagful. I found it. They also have 320 mg of ALA omega-3 fatty acids. I think that is good you.
The perfect end to a darn good bag of chips.
Try 'em. You'll be saying, "Ciao".
