The Hidden Calories in "Healthy" Party Foods

Veggie Chips

Beets. Parsnips. Sweet potatoes. The ingredient list on the back of the package sounds like a week's bounty at the farmers' market. How could these not be good for us? (Okay, maybe not good, but they can't be terrible, right?) Unfortunately, Gensler says that veggie chips often have the same number of calories and grams of fat as potato chips. She okayed two or three chips, but then suggested switching to actual vegetables.
