When you consider the company who invented Olestra spent thirty years getting approval for use in snack foods; only to see it go down shortly after; we get a glimpse of just how much money is at stake in the snack food industry.

People freak out when I say things like "sugar is a legal drug" but like wheat, it is heavily subsidized and in everything.

Snack foods are heavily carb-loaded; I remember the era of Snackwells, which took the fat out and replaced it with sugar. That's a way to gain a pound a day, let me tell ya.
