Since the release of my first seed oil piece, I have been fortunate enough to engage in thought provoking dialogue on seed oils and the ancestral lifestyle as a whole. Among the hundreds of questions and comments, the common theme among them all was, ‘I will stop consuming seed oils, but what snacks can I eat?’

Let’s start with what are seed oils? 

  • The simple, most basic answer: seed oils are processed oils industrially extracted from genetically modified crops.

Seed oils are highly inflammatory and contain large amounts of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs). PUFAs are unstable compounds that form a hefty variety of toxins when exposed to chemical stresses such as high heat, high pressure, exposure to metals and bleaching agents- all of which happen to these vegetable/seed oils in the refining and manufacturing process. In the 1800s, we went from consuming 0 grams of vegetable/seed oils to now a whopping average of 80 grams PER DAY (80 grams= 6 tablespoons), making it the single greatest change to nutrition in history. 

On this journey, I have found that people want to be healthy, but don’t know where to start or what to look for. It has been ingrained in them that they need to compromise taste in order to have a healthy snack, but that is absolutely not the case. 

One of my all time favorite seed oil-free snacks is Rosie’s Chips. I first discovered Rosie’s chips after stumbling across them on the internet, craving a more ancestral style chip.

After one bite, I was instantly hooked. I could not believe how incredibly tasty they were, with the special kettle chip style crunch, especially as a clean option.

I often talk about how our body is a gift and that we must treat it well. I aim to do the best I can with that, even with my snack choices. I love Rosie’s because they are intentionally made with nutrient dense ingredients including potatoes, grass fed and finished tallow, microplastic free sea salt – THAT’S IT!

The reality is, better ingredients lead to better snacks.

Rosie’s uses #megapproved grass fed and finished tallow in all of their chips, with minimal ingredients, all while ensuring the utmost quality. It’s no wonder that they are addictive. 

I’ve gotten my entire family and so many friends hooked on their chips. Our favorite meal to eat them with is 100% grass fed beef or bison burgers and cheddar. We always have our pantry stocked. 

Where can I find them?
