My husband will eat any chip on the market, but most of them have canola oil now, which hurts his system. Frito’s corn chips are the only ones I buy now…no canola…plus I LOVE them. Great blog JB! Thx for reading my post the other day!

Oh I used to love Fritos! It’s a shame they don’t have them over here…actually it’s probably better that they don’t or else I’d be eating them!
