Lol they don't taste bad but you will not lose weight eating them in excess. A lot of fat free foods (especially salad dressing) are filled with sugar and other junk to compensate for taste.
Rice cakes are bad carbs and there's very little nutritional value. Just like white bread. Your insulin levels rise through the roof when you chow down on rice cakes. So they are not bad in moderation but it's not the "dieter's friend" that people used to know them as.
