LOW CARB DORITOS!!!! FINALLY!!!
| Thu, 08-19-2004 - 1:49pm |
I went into Subway today to get a salad, and I saw that they had low carb Doritos!! They're called Doritos Edge, and they have 9 g of carbs, minus 3 grams of fiber for a total of 6 net carbs for a 28 gram serving. There aren't many in the bag, but they sure are yummy!! ~Sabrina

IMO Americans just don't need new Doritos, or **ANY** junk foods. I'm reminded of Jay Leno a few years back making fun of Dominos large pizza deal, whereby for a little extra money they could "make it a meal" by throwing in some breadsticks, chicken wings, and a two liter soda. In an age that SHOULD feature smaller budgets, we are paying Washington chowderheads good money to worry about whether obese people really are more ill and whether they should be helped via government (the Medicare thread, earlier). A local doctor wrote about that, in this morning's paper, concluding "Instead they may threaten the very foundations of our modern 21st century economy if Atkins products stocks start to fall."
IMO the last thing America needs is another Dorito. If Americans would stop buying junk food, eat unprocessed foods and get exercise....that would control the weight problem. I have to agree with the good doctor.
Less Doritos, more good food and good exercise. That would put America, and Americans' growing waists, on the right path, I think.

You said, "I have to agree with Forte: the last thing in the world anyone needs is more junk food." I agree 100%. Some vegetables, or fruit with that sandwich. But the last thing any Americans need at this juncture is one more Dorito. Junk food is not our friend. It's empty calories, and not good for anyone's health, whether on the 100 lbs board or just out there in the general population.
One more way to use that subsidized corn.
As to your rule about moderation. That's a basic rule. If I'm going to have any junk food in my life, better to limit it to that one piece of birthday cake (and then make it a healthier one), that scoop of fat free ice cream (which would make it ff milk), and in that case it wouldn't be junk food at all...not the ff ice cream. I don't see anything like that kind of justification for one more dorito on the market, though. There are just better choices to go with a sandwich IMO.
