Not since the days when former President George Bush's self- proclaimed love of the crunchy, bacon-tasting pork rind catapulted the snack to the forefront of the American diet, has this high-protein snack food alternative basked in the limelight of worldwide attention. Rudolph Foods, the world's largest producer of pork rinds, has found that this is a snack food that generations have enjoyed, but it is catching on and being discovered by a whole new group of people. Said Rich Rudolph, "Families who enjoy pork rinds pass on the tradition. Today, individuals are discovering the snack as a great treat with salsa, for example. Considering pork rinds have no carbohydrates and high protein value, they offer a great solution for sticking to those holiday diet resolutions." According to Charlene Rainey, founder of the Nutrition Network, getting the skinny on pork rinds proves this snack foods' rightful place in the Millennium diet. Said Rainey, "Laboratory analysis conducted by an independent laboratory show that pork rinds are mostly monounsaturated fat and only have five grams of total fat. In addition, they have 9 grams of protein and are carbohydrate free." Top 10 reasons to include pork rinds in your Holiday plans: 1. Pork Rinds are carbohydrate free. 2. Pork Rinds have more protein and less fat than peanuts. 3. Pork Rinds have only 5 grams of fat -- less than 10% of one day's recommended fat intake. 4.

Pork Rinds have 9 grams of protein per serving. 7. Pork Rinds can curb your appetite. Eat one serving 20 minutes before a meal. 8. Pork Rinds are a good high protein snack before bedtime to keep you >from waking up hungry. 9. Pork Rinds have less fat, fewer calories and twice as much protein as cooked bacon. 10.
