I'm a potato chip addict, although I ration myself severely. I don't quite believe that those little snackables can be made all that healthy--after all, they're basically salt, grease and fried stuff. You know, basic food groups for the snack addicts.
Snack lovers, rejoice: Munching on potato chips just got a little healthier.
Studies have shown that acrylamide. which has been found in potato chips, causes cancer in lab animals.
Four food manufacturers agreed to reduce levels of a cancer-causing chemical in their potato chips and french fries under a settlement announced Friday by the state attorney general's office.

PEP, I like this story. It's good stuff. Can't resist potatoe chips from time to time, O.K. The danger is buying a package "chips and a coke" instead of a meal; that get's you some weight.
