I'm kind of going Galt from the blog today. It's been a crappy week on the blogotubes and I'm really feeling it today.
Regardless, this caught my attention on the food reform front:
The authors of a new study said in a news release they measured 29 fast food and sit-down restaurant meals and found they averaged 18 percent more calories than stated. Ten frozen meals bought at grocery stores averaged 8 percent more calories than their labels said. [Lead author Susan B. Roberts] noted that an extra 5 percent in calories could lead to a 10-pound weight gain in a year for a typical person.
So on top of the misleading calorie listings (a single serving is how small?), we also have invisible calories to deal with. This is sort of like the Bush administration not counting the war supplementals as part of the deficit.
