Pringles are NOT potato chips. They are processed potatoes ~ mashed potatoes to be specific ~ that are blended with a wheat byproduct to lend stiffness.

They are then extruded and deep fat fried.

Real potato chips have NO WHEAT!

Ahh yes. With all of the eggs I’ve eaten over the years, all of the mercury from eating tuna growing up as a catholic, all of the benzene, toluene and other solvents that have passed over my bare skin, all of the deep fried crispy food like french fries, all of the nitrites from bacon I’ve consumed over the years, all of the second hand smoke from my father and from coworkers, and all of the diet soda and artificial sweeteners. My god! I should be one large festering, cholesterol oozing, cancerous 61 year old tumor by now.

Oh no. It's time to PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just great. All of my favorite foods contain Acrylamide. The scariest thing is who just eats one ounce of Pringles. I usually devour the whole can in one sitting or at most two.

We all have cancer cells formed in us every day, but the immune system fights them off. When the immune system loses the battle, cancer gets established. Well, pass the chips.

They can go to hell! I love Pringles. Probably best to stock up now that the FDA will likely “fix” them for my own good.

I grow most of my veggies and I do it organically. It is cheap and easy. I purchase meat and eggs from a local farmer who does not use antibiotics or soy feeds. I buy certified organic veggies and fruits as well. I also make most of our breads and buns. I make as much of our food as possible. We eat full fat, organic milk products. In our home there is no fat-free, low-cal, sugar-free anything. There is however red wine and dark chocolate!

Regardless of what you think of my diet and the way that I feed my children, it is something that I CHOOSE to do. I CHOOSE not to eat Pringles, I'd rather have the real thing thank you very much. My issues occur when Big Gov steps in and tells us not to eat Pringles.

This boogey man about acrylamide is just more junk science designed to scare.

Acrylamide is created when a starch, like potato, hits heat like cooking oil. Cavemen were eating acrylamide and it is also present in organic bran muffins. (Starch + heat = acrylamide)

Now if one works in a factory where highly concentrated and purified acrylamide is being produced, then appropriate precautions are necessary, i.e., rubber suits, etc.

THE LARGEST COMMERCIAL USE FOR POLYACRYLAMIDE (PAM)IS WATER PURIFICATION IN MUNICIPLE WATER SYSTEMS!!!

For additional acrylamide information see: http://www.acrylamidefacts.org/

So basically, eating 600 lbs of potato chips would be the equivalent cancer risk as ten seconds in a TSA airport scanner.

The concept of toxicity being dependent on dosage levels completely escapes (or is rejected by) some of our self-appointed guardians.

All this twaddle reminds me of my leaving for the stockyards years ago, where I was an auctioneer, and was asked by my fastidious mother-in-law if I’d have dinner before leaving. When I said I was going to eat at the stockyards she cringed and replied,”Eeewww! Are you going to eat there close to all that manure?! And I said, yes, I BREATHE there close to all that manure!

If we had any idea what’s in the air we breathe every second of our lives, whatever is in Pringles, etc., would be mighty small potatoes.....pun intended.

Or, as is posted in a cigar lounge I frequent in the Harrisburg, PA area: “Smoking is safer than Liberalism!”

A virtuous, health-conscious parent such as I would never bring such awful, cancerous “food” as Pringles into my home. Yet, somehow Santa Claus always leaves little packs of Pringles in our Christmas stockings. Also, they sneak into the car on long road trips.

It’s just one of life’s happy mysteries.
