At least, they're still made from potatoes, and entirely potatoes (save for the salt and other chemical additives). There are many other foods that are far more questionable... take an ordinary hot dog for example. Guaranteed: the meat included in the little tube steaks are not going to be anything close to a prime cut of meat. It's all the leftover pieces that no one would even want to look at; I'm sure we've all heard the term "lips and a******s". But let's not forget about rodent hair and bug excrement... they plump when you cook 'em. Remember that commercial with the kid singing "Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener..." When was the last time you saw that kid... alive? Can you say Soilent Green.
Hmmmm... maybe I stepped over a line there. Anyway, can you really be sure of *any* manufactured food you eat??
