QUESTION 2.  When comparing the calories in baked potato chips to those in regular potato chips, do the regular potato chips have 30%, 50%, or 100% more calories than the baked version?

QUESTION 3. Soups can be a great snack, but how much sodium (salt) is in a bowl of tomato soup? Is it 450 mg, 650 mg or 850 mg  10 ounce serving?
