Another reason America is fat

Pringles.

Yep.

No, not just the fact that we have them but, for one, the fact that we have this one more snack---among a long, long list of snacks--that we also happen to eat between our too-large, fat-laden meals.

Here's what I found last evening on these things.

Pringles at Wal-Mart--the regular ones--are $1.50 per can.

No big deal, right?

Far less expensive than regular potato chip bags, I have to point out.

But the low-fat Pringles?

They're a whopping $2.58 per can.

And get this.

The can is smaller, to boot.

I ask you, who's going to buy those?

Who's going to purchase the low-fat can of Pringles, in an effort to either lose weight or keep it off?

It just doesn't make sense.
