alright, not like im even coming close to suggesting that there healthy, so dont start yellin at me. but i was looking at a lable yesterday, and i noticed per serving that it contained 17 grams of fat, but only listed that it had one gram of saturated fat per serving, and like 0.5 grams of trans fat, so i dont understand what the other sixteen grams of fat is made up of, like what types of fats?

Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. The difference is in the number of double bond sites in the carbon chain (on the molecular level). Regardless of what kind of fat it is, chips have one of the worst protein/carb/fat profiles of any foods.
