Comment on Is eating potato chips better than nothing in terms of pure nutrition and wholesomeness?
Coreidan@lemmy.world 8 months agoThere isn’t any flour in potato chips. They aren’t empty calories either. There is an enormous amount of nutrients in potatoes, far from being empty calories.
The reason potato chips are bad for you isn’t the potato. It’s the oil they are cooked in and the amount of salt.

Compared to the amount of calories in a potato chip, and what they do to the potatoes to make it…. They’re pretty damn close.
Are they better than nothing? Sure. But not something you can survive on for even a few weeks.
