A Perfectly Sane Lunch: Chili a la Chips

Are you dirt poor yet have not given up on the idea of whipping up delectable, convenient and healthy culinary treats that will not explode your waistline? New from treebarkhelmet! This is a section I like to call "A Perfectly Sane Lunch." Be assured, you are in no way insane for enjoying the following offering.

A Perfectly Sane Lunch #1

Stag Brand Chili with Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream Potato Chips



This Perfectly Sane Lunch will set you back approximately 2-3 dollars, depending on whether you are able to get a deal on the Stag Chili. The reason why I choose Stag Brand and no other is because it is comparatively delicious. Not only is it 99 percent fat free, but it improbably contains absolutely no corn syrup as, I assume other brands do, although I will probably never known for certain.

I have tried other Chilis, most notably Hormel, which in comparison tastes like dog food, although I have only ever sampled the dry dog food. I do however like the idea of the name "Hormel" as it seems to exude grossness, which in essence somehow embodies in the platonic idea of 'canned chili.' Although, Stag (The Chili-Lovers Chili) seems to break the mold.

Preparation is simple. Heat can of Chili and dump the potato chips on top. This is what it looks like when it is half-eatin:




The reason why I choose Ruffles is because they cost 99 cents and are damn good eating.

Altogether, this lunch contains 700 calories. Having skipped breakfast, I would say this is a perfectly sane amount of calories.

Let's do our food pyramid (The Food Pyramid is a Trade Mark of the Organization of Food Experts excluding fatty Dr. Andrew Weil) cross check.......working........check! It appears Stag Chili factors into the Food Pyramid right between the little cartoon drawings of the roast and the old timey bottle of milk.
