Veggie Booty!

[Kataka]

I bought this stuff at Safeway, and it's pretty good!

At first glance it has an "egh" factor because it looks like little green snails and smells like your bunny's food, but after tasting it a couple of times it's really good! It has the texture of puffed Cheetos, which is really nice :D And it's slighty salty and maybe I'm imagining this, but it has a very slight cheesey taste. Maybe it's because the texture reminds me of Cheetos? *shrug*
The ingredients are: Corn meal, rice, organic soy flour, rice and/or sunflower oil, spinach, kale, cabbage, carrot, broccoli, parsley, and sea salt
So it's filled with all sorts of good stuff.

In conclusion, I like it and I think you should try it! It makes a really good munch snack!

i just noticed them last week, i saw like 2 other flavors too.

but if your gonna bully me into getting them, then i have no choice do i?

[Kataka]

lol! Eat them! Now!! hahaha
Oh, I tried the "Potato Flyers" by the same company and I give them a big fat thumbs down! They were horrible! Veggie Booty is much better :D I haven't tried any of the other ones though. I might later on, and I'll probably give a review :D

Veggie Booty is pretty icky, but it you're craving something puffy and crunchy then the texture is strangely addictive. They taste like styrofoam covered in green powder though.

[Bugsy]

hmm, are they more like cheetos puffs, or the crunches? cuz i never liked the puffs...

[karenlovessnow]

I just had Tings for the first time and I like them a lot! I will have to look for this Veggie Booty.

Their texture is more like the puffs

[Amy SF]

I haven't had any Tings for about a week, and I'm going through withdrawals... :drool:

Seriously. :wall:

[rawgirl]

I don't like it!

[Kataka]

I am hooked on this stuff! I just bought two more bags! :D

[gfrgfrgfr]

i love veggie booty! i don't know why other people don't like it though. i let some of my co-workers try it and everyone just gave me weird looks. i think it's good though, and it doesn't even really taste that spinach-y.

[skarrlett]

Yuck... Veggie Booty is nasty. I can't get past the green bits :spew:

Count me in the thumbs-up crowd for Veggie Booty.

I still, however, remember the controversy with them a few years ago when there was a lawsuit filed because the bags contained bogus nutritional information. The amount of fat and calories were considerably higher than the bags used to indicate. (They are now correct.) The company blamed its manufacturing facilities or something for the problem, and I hope it wasn't an intentional attempt to mislead.

I eat a bag of it every week. It's got lots of calcium, iron and vitamins. :D

[Tesseract]

Yep, Veggie Booty is one of those love 'em or hate 'em kind of things. I wasn't too sure about them when I first tried them, but I also find them strangely addictive. I can't find Tings around here! :cry:

[jenni-anti-fur]

tried them and they are pretty good thanx for the heads up on them.:nana:

[Kataka]

woohoo!!

[bigdufstuff]

Mmm, both tings and veggie booty are great! I could eat a whole bag in one sitting. :lick:

[Melly]

My daughter went through a phase years ago where she'd only eat veggie booty, so I'm all veggie booty'ed out. I love the fruity booty though. I can still eat that!

[butterflywaters]

have you tried 'Tings', they are vegan and so much like cheeto's...
you can get them at most health food stores, my little 3 yr old neice loves them too....Tings are the best vegan chips I've ever had and so much healthier than any fried potato now that we know they can contain cancer causing agents, here's just one of tons of article on the subject:

French Fries Surprise!
The World Health Organization has called an emergency meeting for the end of June 2002 to look at an urgent health concern with potato chips, French fries, and some other fried and baked foods. Potato chips and French fries are the most common foods found on Kids Meal menus. Nutrition experts have long been concerned that these foods provide high fat and empty calories. But everyone knew that. Mounting new evidence suggests that they also contain high levels of a toxic chemical called acrylamide. Acrylamide is known to cause DNA damage, which can result in reproductive damage and cancer. It is strictly regulated in drinking water to avoid contamination from the manufacture of plastics, but not in food. When starchy foods are heated to high temperatures, they seem to spontaneously form acrylamide, even though none was present in the raw ingredients. In recent studies, potato chips had, by far, the highest levels (500 times the amount allowed in water), followed by French fries (100 times the allowed amount). A tougher European Union drinking water directive due to take effect at the end of 2003 will lower the amount of acrylamide in water even further. But over a billion bags of potato chips are sold every year, and French fries are ubiqutious.

Experts suggest that 30 percent of all cancers are caused by diet. Perhaps acrylamide plays a key role. The Swedish studies on acrylamide in starchy foods met with skepticism in the US and from the food industry. Then scientists in Britain and now Norway have reported similar results. The answers are not all in, but I am glad that WHO is calling together experts to evaluate the situation. WHO is headed by Gro Harlem Brundtland, a physician and former Prime Minister of Norway who is a champion of sustainable development.

Those are yummy! They have nutritional yeast for the cheesy taste!

[froggythefrog]

there's Fruity Booty too?? :surprised

Yup.... It just sounds so much like eating a bag of Froot Loops that I never bought it.

[Tova]

I love veggie and fruity booty and Tings are the best!

[bigdufstuff]

Have you ever found a veggie in the fruity booty?
