I ate pretty much a whole bag of this deliciousness on my walk home:</p> <p><img src="http://www.terrachips.com/sites/default/files/products/w286/72822912375.jpg" alt="alt text"></p> <p>Ingredients are listed as: A seasonal mix of root vegetables (sweet potato, parsnip, batata, taro, yuca), canola oil and/or safflower oil and/or sunflower oil, beet juice concentrate (for color), salt</p> <p>Obviously it was carbtastic, and the seed oils weren't helping the old omega 3: omega 6 ratio.</p> <p>But as a splurge once in a while... what do you all think?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/124715/terra-chips-deliciousness-evil-sabotage-of-my-paleo-ways/124719#124719 Answer by Potato Avenger for Terra chips deliciousness = evil sabotage of my paleo ways? Potato Avenger 2012-06-02T20:52:24Z 2012-06-02T20:52:24Z <p>The canola/safflower/sunflower/frankenstein n-6 oil is way less than optimal, but should you desire to eat sweet potato/parsnip/batata/taro/yucca chips, why not try making them yourself at home? It's really easy, I promise.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/124715/terra-chips-deliciousness-evil-sabotage-of-my-paleo-ways/124720#124720 Answer by Corbab for Terra chips deliciousness = evil sabotage of my paleo ways? Corbab 2012-06-02T20:56:49Z 2012-06-02T20:56:49Z <p>If you're going to cheat, go all the way. IMHO, justifying something as <em>paleo-ish</em> only going to encourage you to eat them more often than a recognized cheat food. You're not really doing yourself any favors eating those over regular chips.</p> <p>There are a few semi-paleo chips (TJ's makes one fried in olive oil instead of seed oil), but like Potato Avenger said, why not just get slicing and fry your own chips in beef tallow or coconut oil? Still a calorie-fest, but not a PUFA-filled one.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/124715/terra-chips-deliciousness-evil-sabotage-of-my-paleo-ways/124723#124723 Answer by Shannon for Terra chips deliciousness = evil sabotage of my paleo ways? Shannon 2012-06-02T21:23:35Z 2012-06-02T21:23:35Z <p>These Chips are my kryptonite as well. They are ridiculously good. It is hard not to eat the whole bag. I think as long as you only eat them occasionally you should be alright. In the meantime, Kale chips with Himalayan pink salt and vinegar. Bamn.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/124715/terra-chips-deliciousness-evil-sabotage-of-my-paleo-ways/124756#124756 Answer by Joshua for Terra chips deliciousness = evil sabotage of my paleo ways?

Team Oberg 2012-06-03T02:43:10Z 2012-06-03T02:43:10Z <p>Take an extra fish oil cap, and brush it off. The worst thing you can do after a binge is stress yourself out about it. Stress is an even bigger cause of inflamation and disease than the occasional splurge. Your body will recover as long as you don't do it too often. If you want to learn more about the stress-disease link you should read "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" I am in the middle of it right now.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/124715/terra-chips-deliciousness-evil-sabotage-of-my-paleo-ways/124860#124860 Answer by Wayne daniels for Terra chips deliciousness = evil sabotage of my paleo ways?

Renee 2012-08-14T16:24:52Z 2012-08-14T16:24:52Z <p>I have lately started relying on these as my carbs for lunch (I put them on my salad) but I know they are not Paleo, so I wrote to Terra Chips and explained our predicament and asked them to make a version in some other acceptable oil. But one email is not enough so please all of you, write to them as well!</p> <p><a href="http://www.terrachips.com/about-terra-chips/contact-us" rel="nofollow">http://www.terrachips.com/about-terra-chips/contact-us</a></p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/124715/terra-chips-deliciousness-evil-sabotage-of-my-paleo-ways/143890#143890 Answer by Heather for Terra chips deliciousness = evil sabotage of my paleo ways? Heather 2012-08-19T16:07:55Z 2012-08-19T16:07:55Z <p>Terra-chips are pure evil... I can consume an entire bag in a sitting.. so much for my Paleo.... Glad to see I am not the only one... And kale doesn't agree with my tummy -- so those "chips" are out.... Off to search some more recipes... </p>
