Can you list potato chips as eating a vegetable?

While potato chips are made from potatoes, a vegetable, the process of making them drastically changes their nutritional content. They are considered highly processed food and do not count as a serving of vegetables.

Here's why:

* Processing removes nutrients: The frying process removes much of the fiber, vitamins, and minerals present in raw potatoes.

* Added ingredients: Potato chips typically contain high amounts of salt, fat, and other additives, making them unhealthy choices.

To get the nutritional benefits of vegetables, it's best to consume them in their whole, unprocessed form.
