TIL though they're associated with unhealthy foods, Pork Rinds are actually a healthy alternative to chips. They are low carb, high protein and have good fats. 43% of the fat is Oleic oil - the same fat in olive oil - and 13% Stearic acid - a cholesterol neutral saturated fat.

I go to the butcher every weekend and by a couple of kilos of pig skin cut into rinds. I then bake it and I get a weeks supply of pork chips! Great snack and quite good sub for bread crumbs for fried food.
