potato chips are hardly the worst thing on the shelf. Ever read the label on your basic bag of ripples? It should say potatoes, oil, salt.
I think the govt. has more important things to worry about. I’m on them (for now) and I buy mainly good stuff with the occasional treat. The only people who should have regulated usage (if at all) are those who are on it more a duration of more than five years. Then find out why and start cutting corners on it.
