 "These days, maraschinos contain Red Dye #40, a pigment found in doritos, Pop-Tarts and other foods. (Parents of hyperactive children claim that the dye causes tantrums.)
Snyder wrinkles his nose when I bring up maraschinos: "That's a bleached-out way to dump bad cherries." But when I ask him about the Grapple's safety, he reaches into his pocket. "A cell phone is a good example. What's a cell phone going to do to me? We don't know." He holds his phone to his ear questioningly as though he might hear an answer or, perhaps, the ocean."- Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |

 "Today, these genetically modified soybean products, which comprise about 80 percent of the beans available, have been found in most baby formulas including Carnation, Similac, Enfamil, Isomil, and Neocare as well as doritos, Fritos, vegetable oils, soybean oil, margarine, and much more. With soy now being an ingredient of thousands of common food products, the masses are systematically poisoned with harmful herbicides.
One of the genes used in the new soybean is derived from the petunia plant, which is a nightshade variety. This is bad news for people with nightshade-induced arthritis."- Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) |

 "Lay's potato chips, doritos, Tostitos tortilla chips, and Cheetos snacks each generate more than a staggering $1 billion in annual sales.13
Clearly, PepsiCo is a company with a lot of salty snacks on its hands. So the task of reinventing itself as a health-promoting, responsible corporate citizen in a highly competitive market is a formidable challenge to say the least."- Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.) |
 "They don't say, 'Don't eat sugary breakfast cereals like Froot Loops, Cap'n Crunch, or Cocoa Puffs, or don't eat refined carbs or fatty foods like Pop-Tarts, doritos, French fries, greasy hamburgers, sausages, bacon, and processed deli meats— foods that deliver sugar, salt, or trans fats.'
"The dietary guidelines are not a work of pure science but a compromise between science and politics," Dr. Katz maintains. "They're partly for consumers and partly for the food industry. Those compromises favor the food industry when it comes to guidance about what not to eat."- Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

 "In the front room, Maria had established her store, selling bread, doritos, toothpaste, and other sundries to her neighbors. She met us at the door in her wheelchair, saying it was too hard to get around her new home on the two prosthetic legs that had replaced her own, cut off at the knees when she fell from the Death Train. She was twenty-six and engulfed in the energy of her two boys, Manuelito and Javier, ages five and four, who couldn't get enough of their mother, now that she had returned after six months in the Tapachula shelter.
Maria told us that the business was growing slowly."- Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.) |
 "So we can thank our earliest land-dwelling ancestors for our proclivity for doritos, pretzels, and pickles. We like salt. We seek salt. We always have.
Accounts from ancient Rome, for example, tell of nobles who were kidnapped and held for a ransom of salt and spices. The word salary comes from the Latin word for salt?salarium—because Roman soldiers were paid partly with this rare and precious commodity. Salzburg, Austria, may evoke scenes from The Sound of Music, but the name means "Salt City," attesting to a historically vital resource the region happens to provide."- David L. Katz, Catherine S.

| "We've turned our evolutionary protection on its head, and a steady diet of Big Macs, doritos, Chips Ahoy, and Coke is making Americans sick.
For years, nutrition advocates were the only ones talking about this problem. But in December 2001, the media, policy makers, and the general public got a huge wake-up call with the release of the U.S. surgeon general's "call to action" on obesity. It was this report that gave us the now familiar statistic that close to two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.) |
 "The Rold Gold Heartzels pretzels that I discussed in the previous chapter qualify for the spots, and so do the baked (as opposed to fried) versions of Cheetos, doritos, and Potato Crisps. All of these products meet the company's nutrition criteria, which are based on "authoritative statements from the FDA and the National Academy of Sciences."
In practice, PepsiCo's criteria pretty much adhere to FDA guidelines for calling products "low" or "reduced."- Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "The ad illustrated bags of Frito-Lay potato chips, doritos, Tostitos, Fritos, Ruffles, and Cheetos, each with one of these words underneath: "zero, zip, zilch, nada, nil, none." Trans fats, you may recall from the margarine chapters, are the bad ones formed when vegetable oils are hydrogenated. Because trans fats raise the risk of heart disease, the FDA required Nutrition Facts labels to disclose the amount of these fats in food products, starting in January 2006. At that point, listing trans fats on food labels might discourage sales." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "Eating less trans fat from Cheetos and doritos or less salt from chips makes good nutritional sense, but taking them out of food products as soon as possible makes even better marketing sense. I thought it might be easy to misinterpret those zeros, zips, and nadas in the PepsiCo ad as implying that you can now eat all the Lays snacks you want because the trans fats are gone. It is great that they are (and they should have been gone a long time ago), but removing the trans fats can make you forget that these snacks still have plenty of calories —and lots of salt." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "I have on hand a full-page advertisement for Munchies Kids Mix (from Frito-Lay/PepsiCo): a mixed bag of Cheetos, Cap'n Crunch cereal, doritos, and Rold Gold pretzels. Mom and Dad, you'll feel great about offering it to your kids because Munchies Kids Mix snack mix is a good source of 8 essential vitamins and minerals, has o grams trans fat, and meets nutritional guidelines established by Dr. Kenneth Cooper for sugar, fat, and sodium. Why Dr." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) |
 "It discusses nutrition, physical activity, and youth obesity and then emphasizes how a variety of PepsiCo products can be used to improve one's snacking (Quaker Oatmeal and Granola bars, Tropicana juice, Rold Gold pretzels, and Frito-Lay's baked version of potato chips and doritos).
As we have mentioned before, introducing healthier foods should not buy the food companies public relations immunity for promoting less healthy products and for exploitive practices such as marketing them to children. But their positive accomplishments also should not be overlooked."- Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen, Food Fight (Get the book.) |
 "For many years I was a pseudo- and junk-food-oholic, smoker, and binge drinker, whose idea of exercise was walking a block to the convenience store on the corner to pick up a six-pack, a liter of Pepsi, a jumbo bag of doritos, and a pack of cigarettes. There are few people out there who could rival the unhealthy habits of my past. I used to brag that I could eat anything, that nothing bothered me. This immature bravado of invincibility and careless ways led me to a place where I literally couldn't eat anything, as you'll recall from The Beginning."- Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C., If It's Not Food, Don't Eat It! The No-nonsense Guide to an Eating-for-Health Lifestyle (Get the book.) "Put that old six-pack, liter of Pepsi, jumbo bag of doritos, and pack of cigarettes I used to yearn for in front of me today, and I'd cringe with disgust. On the other hand, give me a fresh glass of carrot, apple, beet juice and my face will light up with delight! It's like reformed smokers who can't stand the smell of smoke. Not only am I repulsed by the extreme nature of the addictive pseudofoods I used to adore, but my body has become highly sensitized to these dis-ea.se causing foods as well, especially those with toxic chemical additives." - Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C., If It's Not Food, Don't Eat It!

| "The Frito-Lay Announcement

"We're taking several steps that will change the way America snacks," said Al Bru, President and Chief Executive Officer of Frito-Lay North America." - Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen, Food Fight (Get the book.) |

| "One can gain weight just fine with Snack Well's cookies, or with McDonald's changed-fat foods, or with modified doritos, Tostitos, and Cheetos. It all depends on how much people eat, something that is difficult to predict. McDonald's new versions of their fried foods will not have fewer calories—one fat is simply being replaced with another.
We cannot predict how the public will respond to the McDonald's and Frito-Lay changes, but if the free pass mentality prevails, people may believe the new foods are healthy in an absolute sense and therefore enjoy a license to eat more." - Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen, Food Fight (Get the book.) |
 "These closet gluttons huddle in the darkest corner of the chapel and painstakingly unwrap their candy bars and doritos Nacho Cheese Chips. The deafening crinkle of paper drowns out my mantra. Even God cannot hear the prayers of the few devout chapel-goers through all that crackly static from the back of the chapel.
No, that temporary bulge in the side pocket of my navy blue blazer is not a bag of doritos. Rather, Cheetos. I've given up on the chapel as conducive to meditation. I say, if you can't lick 'em, munch 'em.
Last Sunday afternoon I found the ideal venue."- Oscar London, From Voodoo to Viagra: The Magic of Medicine: 37 Uplifting Essays from a Doctor's Bag of Tricks (Get the book.) |

Anytime, anywhere—even on the run—Go Snacks let Americans stay on the go without going hungry for their favorite snack foods." - Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen, Food Fight (Get the book.) |
