I have so...No need to be embarrassed at all Audrey! I have soy milk and rice milk in my fridge that many wholefoodies would tell me is a no no but I'm not embarrassed I am just where I'm at. So, to answer your question these types of crackers are not so good, particularly these kind with salt on them because they are high in salt (and not good quality sea salt, though that needs to be eaten moderately too), they also contain naturally occurring MSG (anything with the words 'hydrolized protein' mean it contains MSG), the sunflower oil is damaged through being heated and is not good for the cells of your body, the ones in my example include 'cheese powder' which again has been highly processed to turn cheese into powder and finally these kinds of crackers can be hard to digest. Comparatively speaking they might not be as laden with chemicals and other fake ingredients as other snack foods so perhaps they are a better option if you don't mind your family eating processed snacks occasionally. Thanks for your feedback I'm glad you are enjoying this series and hope you are feeling well!

I understand they are processed & thus not as nutritious as eating actual brown rice but what is it in particular that make these types of crackers not-so-good? I remember you mentioning this in the past but couldn't find the post. I figure it is because they are the equivalent of eating cardboard but if you could rehash or post some links that would be fantastic :) love your work as always!
