Nitpicky Nutritionals
Fighting the seemingly never-ending battle against obesity, the Food and Drug Administration now wants food packaging to include nutritional information on the front of food packaging. (I guess it’s just too well hidden all the way on the back?) But the FDA thinks the bigger problem is that serving sizes don’t line up with how Americans really eat, so it plans to re-evaluate serving sizes so consumers know what they’re really getting. Until this happens, do the math yourself. If a serving size is half a muffin and you eat the whole thing? Double the calorie count so you know what you’re getting. However, those of us who need a calculator to do basic math won’t complain about the FDA putting all that sneaky info front and center!
