1. They count as veg. if you also have greens and fruit in your diet.

2. Don't forget that potato chips are DEEP-FRIED
Any reminents of vegetable matter are obliviated by that process.

10. what if it is vegetable oil?
Wouldn't that make potato chips as super vegetable as well? Kind of a double vegetable? :think:

3. IF ketchup is a vegetable THEN potato chips are too. If not, no.

5. And ketchup is kind of a super-vegetable...
...because the lycopene in it is more readily absorbable than that in raw tomatoes.

6. Corn, however...
...is not a vegetable. It's a grain.

8. How about those shoestring potato sticks?
In my local grocery, they are found in the canned vegetable aisle!

Pumpkin pie?
Carrot cake?

11. As a matter of fact, they're "America's Favorite Vegetable"
according to one of the Eastern chip companies that I can't seem to locate right now.
