The Take
Pork rinds and dried chilis both qualify as actual food because their ingredient lists stop at pork salt animal fat or one type of pepper. No seed oil traps or flavor lab experiments required if you check the bag.
The Verdict
These are the rare packaged items that earn their keep without pretending to be something else. Buy both and rotate like an adult.
