Of course, maybe they are edible now. The old ones tasted like mildly salted cardboard.

Guiltless Gourmet (yellow, white, and blue corn) chips get only 14% of calories from fat and taste great. Also, Trader Joe's makes a Baked Blue Corn Tortilla chip that tastes even better and they get only 14% of calories from fat.
Based on what Shell found out (great sleuthing, Shell) the new Baked Tostito scoops get 25% of their calories from fat which is right at the upper limit. (And I agree with Jen about the old Baked Tostitos with no fat - I might as well have been eating the bag.)

A number of baked products have disappeared, and I just don't get it. I used to love baked Bugles, and they got pulled off the market a few years ago. They were so superior to the regular greasy ones. And now Tostitos are changing for the worse. Darn it.

Well, when I called the last time and complained and got all the info.... my words were "It's really too bad that the change was made, because THAT change just effected anyone who has IBS (I also said the WORDS Irritable Bowel Syndrome) , and that is really sad" She said she would pass the complaint on and asked for my zip code.... so maybe others should really call an complain too... (I could not find an email address)

Is this really a terrible thing? I mean, no, they aren't 100% perfect anymore, but I think they are still pretty much a safe snack. Plus, they actually taste REALLY good even though they are baked and not nearly as high in fat as regular chips. I have had 2 bags of them in the past month, eaten in moderation at each sitting, and have had absolutely no ill effects from them whatsoever.
What makes them so bad? Isn't the fat content low enough to be considered safe, or is it just safe for me? Please DO correct me if I'm wrong... I'm still relatively new to all this (8 months now).

I'll have to double ck our stores here in Redding, Ca as I just bought a couple of bags a month or 2 ago and my family loves them. i don't even eat regular chips anymore. Love the baked BBQ and will be real bummed if they do away with those. My kids also eat the baked sour cream & onion and baked Cheetos! What I like too about the BBQ is there isn't MGS in the baked lays.

Don't know if Heather, you will see this email but I have tried to post questions in hopes you will respond. I'd imagine you have alot of posts, etc.. to read and so on. I am looking for direction on a gastro vs not doing anything. i am 38 and my regular doc says I am too young to worry about colonoscopies, etc... and that it more than likely is just IBS. I am sure it is but should I see a specialist and be for sure? Nothing else has been ruled out.

You need to be tested for everything that must be excluded for an IBS diagnosis. The odds are that what you have is IBS but I wouldn't be willing to bet my life on not having any of the nastier illnesses that can mimic it.
Read the section on what tests you need to have and what illnesses must be ruled out, find a GI guy, and get it done. If you're female you also need to have a talk with your gynecologist about endometriosis and ovarian cancer. I just did a post about this here with links to the diagnosis info and a place to possibly find a decent doctor.
Sheesh!

I figure the new Baked Tostitos get 25% of their calories from fat. That's right at the top end of Heather's recommendation. Some people on the Boards need to keep their fat percent even lower than 25% and for them the new Tostitos would be a problem, but I would be fine with that as long as I wasn't eating them before lunch. So if you love them and they don't bother you I think it's fine.
HTH. Enjoy!
