This is just another case of media hype.
Look at the FACTS.
A 30g bag of crisps (chips) is around 50% oil - so that's 15g (three teaspoons) of oil a day x 365 = 5475g - about 5 litres of oil.
This is NOT a major problem as part of an otherwise healty diet.
Nearly ALL Indian food contains large quantites of Ghee (butter fat), Italian's love to smother things in Olive oil and yet nothing is said about that....and many nations have diets high(ish) in fats.
Not all fats are bad...some are verging on the essential!!
...another slow news day.... well, SARS didn't kill millions, neither did Bird Flu...or BSE...or Anthrax in the mail...or GM foods...or Rotweillers... so now it's KILLER CRISPS!!

Blah blah blah blah. 3 years ago, they said red wine is bad for you. Now it's not. 3 years ago they said chocolate is bad for you - now they say dark chocolate is not. All food is good for you in moderation. This always get's on my nerves when the media starts this kinda rubbish. And who worked this out???? Some university with nothing else to do? Probably! Pay no attention to media hype and panic - at's all absolute rubbish. Crisps are fine if you stick to a few packs a week - it's those that eat 7 packs a day that need to worry. 1 bag of crisps each day is less hazardous to the human body than 1 mars bar each day.

Yes, but if you particularly need to consume 5 litres of cooking oil every year, a bag of crisps a day is probably the nicest way to do so.

Yes I heard that too. Crisps/chips (USA) have almost no goodness in them and all that oil is really bad for you. I think it would be better to east a small packet of nuts instead, at least they have some goodness and the oil is natural.

yeah - but 5 litres of oil - though it sounds a LOT if you were to look at a 5 gallon container, isn't all that much to process through your body spread out over a whole year!!
5litres divided by 365? about a mililitre or less a day. or about a 1/5th of a teaspoon
doesn't seem that bad now eh? munch up those crisps!

Yeah have you seen the adverts showing this. I drove past a billboard and there is a picture of a woman drinking directly out of a 5 litre bottle of oil and it's all running down her face. It was disgusting....

i don't think crisps are that bad. they weigh in at about 120 calories for a normal bag, compared with 80 for an orange and 300+ for a bar of chocolate or 600+ for a bag of nuts

No I didn't know that. But I also don't eat a whole bag of crisps/chips a day.
