The 7 Absolute Worst Ways to Eat Your Vegetables, There are vegetables—the things that are crazy good for you and that you should always aim to eat more of. And then there are "vegetables"—the things that contain some semblance of a vegetable's former self, and for that reason, appear much more virtuous than they actually are.
This is a list of the latter (warning: due to the intense creativity of food manufacturers, it may not be all-encompassing). When you snack on this stuff, do so with the full knowledge that it's more reduced-guilt junk food than it is disease-fighting superfood.
1. Veggie chips, puffs, or crisps
Yes, they'll deliver slightly more nutrients and fiber than plain ol' potato chips. But don't let yourself get seduced by the wholesome packaging: With loads of added starch, most of them still fall into the "nutritionally worthless" category. Plus, the salt, fat, and crunch makes them addictive, so you'll probably end up eating the whole bag.
