To: mph who wrote (63487) | 9/26/2002 11:00:45 AM | From: Original Mad Dog | | | I have a question.
Why do those charts always talk about an ounce of food?
Who eats an ounce of anything?
The listings should be in one pound and five pound increments.
For example:
Peanuts
One lb. 2,560 calories 5 lbs. 12,800 calories
M&M's
One lb. 2,272 calories 5 lbs. 11,360 calories
That would be more directly useful to everyday living, if you ask me. |

To: Original Mad Dog who wrote (63488) | 9/26/2002 11:05:13 AM | From: mph | | | You're absolutely correct.
I can understand why serving sizes are so small on pre-packaged food (since they don't want to scare the consumer as to how fattening the food really is when eaten in normal proportions.)
However, calorie charts are designed for the opposite purpose---to scare you into NOT eating so much. |

I just hope they don't cause too much gastric upset....
lentils can do that, you know....that's why I've avoided them for so long.
