Me And My Damned Pork Rinds!!!

Pork Rinds.

I love them.

Why? How about this:

According to Men's Health,Genuis Junk Food

A 1-ounce serving contains zero carbohydrates, 17 grams (g) of protein, and 9 g fat. That's nine times the protein and less fat than you'll find in a serving of carb-packed potato chips. Even better, 43 percent of a pork rind's fat is unsaturated, and most of that is oleic acid -- the same healthy fat found in olive oil. Another 13 percent of its fat content is stearic acid, a type of saturated fat that's considered harmless, because it doesn't raise cholesterol levels.


High in Sodium:


Yep, they are... however, they are about as high in sodium as potato chips, and if you don't eat much salt to begin with-- well, I think they are worth it.

So that's my stance on the Pork Rind thing.
