We don’t eat chicken nuggets and we limit chips to once or twice a week.

Why do you not limit chips if you're limiting seaweed?

We do. And seaweed has higher sodium than chips anyway.

No way. That's false, but keep telling yourself that the superfood seaweed is too salty to be healthy for your potato chip eating kids.

My kids love seaweed and eat it occasionally. But there is nothing wrong with potatoes either. Potato chips are potatoes, oil, and salt. Seaweed snacks are identical, just sub potatoes for seaweed.

Mine do and so do I.

Yes the problem with on the shelf fried snacks is the oil tends to be stale, which means a physical change called oxidation, makes it very difficult for your body to deal with, which leads to inflammation.

Sorry to ruin it for you: this is true with anything on the shelf that has been fried in oil.

When reaching for snacks, You can do better.

If you want to keep your kids from ever eating seaweed snacks or potato chips, that’s fine. Mine will continue to eat them on occasion. I have zero concerns.

Why are you so invested in it? Do you work for a seaweed company?

Why don’t you think about the likelihood of that being true? I just don’t like when people state false information and then object to being called out on it.

Careful where you get it. Much comes from offshore northern Asia and has been contaminated with radioactive waste from Fukishima.

Agree! I buy the boxes with the five sleeves instead. DS still eats the entire box in one sitting.

It’s false to state seaweed is saltier than potato chips unless you’re eating low/no salt chips.

It also depends on the seaweed. But generally it absorbs salt from the ocean and salt is added in packaging.

It is not false to state that seaweed is saltier than chips unless the seaweed is marked low sodium.

Also how do you reconcile the heavy metals in it?

These are all salty snacks. It’s silly to compare the relative merits of seaweed snacks and potato chips. Eat them occasionally and move on.

Neither are super foods nor the devil.
