Also also, can we revisit nutritional information on the packages? Make the serving sizes more easy to understand to humans, I'm not measuring out cups, ounces, or grams of food. Every container should have a label, even if it came in a bigger package. Sweeteners should be combined into parentheses too so the ingredients don't look like "water, flour, glucose, sucrose, dextrose, maltose, high fructose corn syrup, sugar" (now with less sugar!)
How many bites per megabite?
Depends, are you a hard drive or a router?
Normally i route food down the Hershey Highway, but when yer mom/sister/(18+)daughter is around i can be a hard drive.
And rounding down shouldn't be allowed. There's a lot where you can see this on 2 different sizes of the same product or if they give a per serving and a per container, where the serving is zero but the larger package is non-zero.
If they say it's zero, then it had better be actually zero.
