Chip Substitute: Jicama
For me, the word snack is synonymous with crunch. I find snacks more satisfying if they have some snap to them. Needless to say I am a chip lover, but they are not the most nutritious food on the planet and can be rather fattening too.

I Don't Buy It: Healthy Junk Food
It is all over the news, Americans are not eating enough fruits and veggies, and large food conglomerates have decided to help us out. According to a recent article on MSNBC, Kraft and Frito Lay are making healthy junk food, and if that sounds like an oxymoron to you that is because it is one.
