I’m walking around with natural fingertips for the first time in years. No red stain from Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. No orange hue from Nacho Cheese Doritos. No trace of purple from Takis Fuego. Just flesh, hopefully without preservatives.
Try not to judge me a bad person, but I’ve eaten a bag of chips nearly every day since I was a teenager. (I’m only exaggerating a little.) We were poor, and it was a cheap snack growing up. I’m a stress eater, and it’s comfort food. That’s how I came to rely on the processed potato.
I’ve cut back in recent years but have often kept a bag or two hidden around the apartment in case of emergency.
