No wonder I was having trouble taking off the weight, because I was eating way more than 11 chips at a time. I didn't count, and I ate them right out of the bag -- a recipe for caloric disaster. That puts this snack over the allotted 300 calories I've given myself for snacks, so I count out five chips and measure out my hummus. I'm totally satisfied, though, so that's a good thing. 
Being overweight is unhealthy -- is this a fact? Or merely a common assumption? Considering the bad rap obesity has these days -- as an epidemic and national emergency, among other disastrous associations -- most of us will accept the overweight/unhealthy connection as fact.
