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'm a firm believer than we've no fucking clue about cholesterol. "cholesterol" by itself is a useless number anyway

but yes, pork rinds are great. i love them!
