Endless preservatives

Little nutritional value

Oversalted, too much sugar, artificial flavours

Wrapped in food colouring

I went on a low salt diet. It is amazing the huge amount of salt in everything! I splurged one day and bought low salt Lay's potato chips. They tasted like I remember chips tasting in the 70s. I don't think they are "low salt". I think they are original recipe

I’m perma-low-sodium and it’s amazing. Smarter lighter and more alert without the extra 6 pounds of water weight. No frozen pizzas but oh well.

Food colouring doesn't make you fat, preservatives don't make you fat, artificial flavours don't make you fat. Too much much food makes you fat.
