I love chips like lays, pringles, spud, dortitos, mr. chips, V-cut, potato chips, cheese rings, piknik, cheese balls and more. I love them with different kinds of dips and i enjoy it with my friends. My honey dont like much of it, he said its not healthy. I wonder why? I have heard that from my parent who always tell me and my brother that those are JUNK FOODS. I wonder it that REALLY TRUE. Are CHIPS junkfoods because if they are, why are they still in the market? Do you like chips? do you believe that they are junkfoods? do you believe that they are unhealthy food? Why do you think they still sell it when they know its not good for the healthy of kids?

I love chips as well, I think that they are good in moderation. Like for instance, I eat them ever once and a while. I don't make it a point to have chips in the house all the time, because they are addicting. I like to have them for parties, or go and get them when i'm hungry for something other that food.

Chips are junk food, no matter how many ways you slice it. They are full of salt, grease and no telling what other kinds of preservatives and chemicals. They sell these products because kids think they taste good and kids will want to buy the product healthy or not. Just like they want candy, and that is not good for them either. It is marketing by the big companies that cause these problems with confusing what is good for you and what tastes good to you.

Chips? Junk food? Let's see, grease, oil, and too much salt is definitely junk. Potatoes are good. I guess chips are good junk food.

yes of course they are junk food, yes of course they are unhealthy, but they also taste good. They are full of saturated fat and are therefore bad for the heart blessed be
