Kinda like those health products that advertise they're "clinically tested". They eagerly claim they took the test, but they don't say they passed the test. If they had, they would say something more concrete like "clinically proven" or "drug facts".

That's like me inspecting all my chicken nuggets and running out of chicken nuggets

They didn't even have to say that! They just had to look at it :P

Ray What a the labels that say “Mechanically separated chicken”? Makes me think of a giant robot ripping them into pieces.

Draevon May if you want to be really pedantic in abstract algebra nothing in an algebra exists outside of addition without additional structure (literally).

multiplication is just adding a number to itself the number of times its multiplied by, 5x5 is the same as 5+5+5+5+5

surely the issue here is just that your trying to multiply "not real" numbers?

spawnof200, Draevon May is correct -- pi and e ARE real numbers, but they are irrational. Irrational numbers cannot be multiplied using addition.

@Draevon May Just because it is not practical to multiply those numbers by repeated addition doesn't prove that multiplication is not repeated addition.

hbihu you ruin things. Yes that may be the case but on the good side of thoughts the real use of RU-vid could be for entertainment but it might be far fetched the creators know deep down they just want the money to live the life they want but they gain so much they start to realize the sadness of the people that don’t have the money so they donate realizing they don’t have enough so they raise the ads... repeat and all the games and apps just turn into ad invested money makers, some games are just copy’s of others just drowned in ads. But talking again about entertainment, there must have been a reason to making RU-vid when starting it in the first place there must have been a purpose, which is most likely to be for entertainment or a way of sharing life like social media

Wow, this comment got about 2,000 likes

Thank you. I'm recoving right now... could you, like, reassure me that if I get what I want and don't count the calories, I'll, y'know, be ok?

@@screamingweevil3410 Absolutely! The short of it is that Calories are a useful but flawed measure of how much energy we can get from eating foods. However, the flaws are numerous. For one, food energy is stored in different molecules that are treated differently by the body, and whose metabolism differs from hour to hour based on activity. Additionally, nutrition labels are intentionally fudged depending on the market the product is selling in. In experiments where foods were independently re-tested, their nutrition label Calorie contents didn't even correlate with the actual number. Food is made up of organisms whose nutrient content is just too unpredictable to reliably count. For instance, broccoli may have 0.31 Cal/g on average, but any given sample may vary drastically. Knowing this, it's hard to justify the obsessive counting. So yes-- get what you want and don't count Calories! You'll be okay. The first steps are scary, but after a while you may find that your fears are unjustified and that you have actually been completely in control the whole time!

Cody Platta Do you know anything about the less than two servings thing that isn't included in the FDA regulations?

I worked for a pharmaceutical company. This guy I worked with rounded 8.49 to 8.5 to 9. He didn't do it because he was trying to cut a corner, but because he really thought that was how to actually do it. My point is, marketing is probably the biggest reason for sneaky rounding, but poor math skills is also a factor.

I ignore serving sizes on food because I have no patience to follow them and sometimes they are riddiculously low or they make no sense (the product does not have a whole number of servings). Per 100g information is usually more useful. Anyway I do not count kJs all that much anyway I am more interested to see what the product contains and how much artificial it is. Even then it does not say the whole story and we are often lied to so there are helpful tests. Also much bigger issue is that like second grade citizens of "eastern" Europe we are getting low quality food unlike peoplein UK or Germany who are getting at least mediocre products.

IIRC anything below 5 calories can be rounded down to 0. That’s how you can get “0 calories per serving; 20 calories per container”

@@Onychoprion27 You're right. You're allowed to say 0 if it is

This isn’t just an “allowed” thing. It’s false labeling to overstate the nutritional content of food. So TicTacs have a purposefully small serving size so they are required to say it has 0 calories. Usually this comes up with new brands of nut containing food when they don’t hire the right person for their labels. Nuts contain proteins that work differently from vegetable or animal protein, and they end up being ordered to decrease the declared protein and thus calorie content.

Oh, it sounds like you live in a country called the EU.

Not exactly a country but whatever :D

The meaning of life is soup

They even admit it on their website "The Nutrition Facts for Tic Tac® mints state that there are 0 grams of sugar per serving. Does this mean that they are sugar free? Tic Tac® mints do contain sugar as listed in the ingredient statement. However, since the amount of sugar per serving (1 mint) is less than 0.5 grams, FDA labeling requirements permit the Nutrition Facts to state that there are 0 grams of sugar per serving." WTF USA? How can any of this possibly be legal?

"How can any of this possibly be legal?" Politics and general bureaucracy. It's funny that this is one of the few times where rounding a number actually makes things more complicated.

"How can any of this possibly be legal?" American laws often go by the rule of "if this is sort of close to the actual number, then it's sort of not quite a lie, right?"

The simple answer is that bribery is effectively legal in the US. The general public have no influence on government policy, despite apparently being in a democracy, because all of the options they're given are already bought and paid for long before they ever hear of them.

Same thing with Splenda. It has the exact same amount of calories as sugar, but it’s 4 calories per serving. Because it is below 5 calories it can market itself as zero calorie!

Wtf theres suck thing as a calorimeter

do you have the formulas?

Mohamed Diab, you hit the nail on the head with that one.

Rob Spagrenetti I’m disappointed in your school. If you didn’t light Doritos on fire in a cup under a cup of water to test how much the water temperature increased you have been failed by your education system! 1 gram of water increases 1 degree for every calorie so if you have 100 grams of water that increased by 2.5 degrees it was a 250 calorie food

Are they really being dodgy about it, or is it just obscenely unrealistic to provide exact answers for the amount of calories and servings in every single container? Like, every can of soup has a tolerance for how full it is, give or take several %, not to mention the precise ingredients of the soups, i.e. exactly how many beans, exactly how many kernels of corn, are they all of perfectly uniform size and mass, and therefore chemical energy? Of course not, it's ridiculous, of course the label is going to have blatant inaccuracies because it legitametly could not be made perfectly accurate without thousands of dollars wasted checking every single can of soup

@@brucefromfindingnemo7842 On top of that, you can't know what the caloric/(macro)nutrient content of something is without basically destroying it. We all know that there's tolerances for the content, and that the nutrition information is an estimation (usually not even done using the product itself, but by using myfitnesspal on its ingredients). What's unacceptable is them being lazy and inaccurate with the servings *on top of that*.

@@brucefromfindingnemo7842 it's very much in their best interest to do just that. They are producing hundreds of thousands, im sure, units a day, know what is going into each can and mixing the soup separately will save them money.

They definitely know how much it is and give a false number on purpose for marketing advantage. This isn't rocket science, soup weight can easily be better estimated. Especially consider the standard of 6σ, then it's clearly ridiculous to have > 25% error on consistency of labeling on the same can. It's one thing to say π=3, it's another to say it's "about 2" in a context where smaller makes you money.

sources?

Sam I’m to drunk to understand this

Money doesn't corrupt politicians, power does.

The two cans I had were marked per 100ml on one and 100g on the other, for minimum comparability. Bonus: the 100g one was for a diluted result, so indeterminate per can contents.

Suckers. They should have counted the contributions in each bracket instead of summing them up. That way they could say that medium and large contributions constitute a negligible portion of all contributions.

daemn42 about 2 servings seems like big enough soup already

Big soup

daemn42: what, you don’t eat only have a package of top ramen?

The thing is, the FDA doesn’t understand that 0.9999... actually equals 1.

just imagine that there are an arbitrarily large but finite number of nines.

84-1/inf

It’s probably a countably infinite number of nines.

That would still be equal to 85. In fact, if there are infinite nines, I think there necessarily has to be a countably infinite number of them, since there exists a bijection between the natural numbers and the number of nines.

You must be new here. Welcome! Also prepare yourself for continued inappropriate use of the markup technique.

It's far better, but it has its share of loopholes. For instance, Bong canned soup is condensed, so they get to label it per diluted soup; and suddenly you can't figure out the weight that the can results in, because they don't tell you the volume of the can. At least they have to indicate that they're fudging using a footnote for the comparison table.

LoneTech Concentrated or rehydratable foods need to list values for the food both before and after dilution/rehydration.

That would obviously be better, but this can doesn't.

While rounding in the US is ripe for manipulation it's "dangerous" to think that EU labelling precision is useful. Pure substances like salt being robotically added to five decimal points might test out very consistent. However, I'm sure that if you check 10 cans, that aren't from a single homogenous batch, you'll find that none of them agree and none of them match their label perfectly either. Honest labelling would give a distribution for each ingredient. Sometimes the pork is much fattier, other times the machine completely misses adding pork to the can, and occasionally it adds shards of metal from itself. Mmmmm sharp! That level of analysis would overwhelm even the most math savvy of consumers. Ultimately, things like how much you chew your food and your genetic propensity for producing certain digestive enzymes complicate the picture considerably. It's better that we recognize that all of the numbers are approximations and as long as it's only 10% "off" or whatever it won't matter since we're already consuming 200% of the recommended amount. That's the point I believe Vi was getting at; the magnitude of the error is small compared to how much harm we do by overeating in the first place.

It's understood that values have variance. Rounding them off just adds bias to that uncertainty, which in this example is clearly exploited to the detriment of the customer (and since we're talking food, actually consumer). Incidentally we don't use five decimal points, we typically have two significant digits.

Now it’s a conspiracy about a conspiracy

r77xxl Either way, in the end you still have about two dishes to clean... :-°

The pot is harder to clean than a bowl though. It's the MSG seasoning that really makes it stick to the container, so personally I'd prefer that happened in a bowl or not at all.

Is the calorie count literally as much as stuff could burn for? I reckon that'd b pretty useless: I doubt we can process all raw actual calories equally well... At least I don't see many people filling their diets with crude oil or other such delicious high calorie sources.

9:59?

Kram1032 it's important in chemistry because it doesn't just apply to food, it's a measure of how much energy can be released from something when it is burned, except calories are just a unit of measurement normalised to water. E.g. 4.18 joules heats 1 gram of water by 1 Kelvin - which is exactly the same as what 1 calorie is capable of, but by calling it a calorie we get rid of the nasty 4.18 number and replace it with a nice, round, 1

Kram1032 IIRC, yeah, that’s more or less how calorie counts are done. Also IIRC, “burning the calories” is exactly what our bodies do, just not quickly enough that we burst into flames.

Well, the taxpayers already pay for healthcare. They just do it out of their own pockets. It's a fun little game called "I better try and save up $150,000 as soon as possible in case someday I miss one concrete step and ruin my life forever." There are other countries with a much lower per-capita GDP that have sorted this out.

Also, your counterargument seems to be the issue of leeway. That was already my point. That they _could_ be better. But why would they? Where's the incentive for the FDA to tell food manufacturers, "Hey, stop it with the sugar and salt, you knuckleheads"?

Lol, If you take the gdp of Sweden, then add it to Norway's, then add that to Denmark's, that is about how much the US government spends on health care every year for seniors, military, disabled, and children. We could _buy_ your little communist nation with our healthcare budget.

"We could buy your little communist nation" Who is the "you" in this sentence?

Tom Haflinger Well, technically, there isn't "you" in that sentence, but I get what you're saying. And the comment is mostly directed at all the eurotrash haters that always seem to pop up in threads like these. More of a preemptive strike. Not directed at other Americans, obviously.

One of the best tips I ever learned for instant ramen is to add fresh ginger to it. You can get huge chunks of ginger root for a dollar at the supermarket that will last you for two weeks of ramen, and it adds much needed flavor beyond salt.

I buy a bundle of spring onions for about a dollar, then slice them finely to sprinkle on top. good for about 6 bowls of ramen. I also like the Kroger brand seaweed snacks, also about a dollar, sliced up on top. 2 extra bucks makes your next ~6 bowls of ramen taste more traditional and adds some plant fiber and vitamins to an otherwise 100% noodle meal.

Electromag[e] the point is that companies are trying every trick in the book and the labels are still mostly accurate. It wasn't that long ago when there were no nutritional guidelines at all. Imagine what sold then. The point's definitely not "it's perfect and can't be better" though.

Saying that the labels are good labels because you didn't used to have labels is absolutely batshit. It's like putting plastic bags on your feet because you didn't have shoes and exclaiming they're the most comfortable shoes money can buy! By saying "mostly" you've pointed out exactly why your labels aren't good. Because they're not accurate, at all. They're full of work-arounds, strange rounding quirks, and have the ability to almost tell you nothing accurately about your food given the right shenanigans. There shouldn't BE any "trick in the book", there shouldn't be room to pull these kind of stunts, and in europe, you literally cannot because of the strict standards put in place so that consumers actually know what they're getting without having to pull mental gymnastics.

Electromag[e] Exactly

Electromag[e] Well the problem here is most people don't care about this. The normal consumer doesn't care if the labels are the most accurate things. Unless you're on a diet, the nutrition facts are good enough for the average person. If you know anything about the US, you know it's capitalist country. One of the joys of capitalism is the power of the consumer. Whenever there's a product you don't like, don't buy it. If enough people do the same thing, the company who made the product sales will go down. This gets the message across the company, since your hurting what it values, money. Of course it might seem simpler for the government to just 'fix' the issue, but many of my fellow Americans (Myself included) don't trust the government to fix it.

@@billyswift1745 I understand why you dont trust your government as the same companies theyre meant to be regulating are the ones basically pulling the strings over there, but thats truly not an excuse for basically putting rubbish on your labels. And if you didnt know, every country in Europe is a capitalist country too and we don't have that problem (though we certainly have problems like any country, don't get me wrong) but your capatlism point has literally nothing to do with people not knowing what theyre buying

forrest225 That would be solved by requiring the nutrition label to list values per 100 g, with “per serving” values as an optional second column.

Nillie yeah, I wish we did that in the US. It would be so much easier to compare products.

I think American food corporations bank on the consumer not understanding price per mass as a concept.

Calories per mass isn't helpful. Different products have different masses. So you have to do multiplication anyways.

It is useful, because it is standardized and makes comparison very easy. That's the point of it. For example to see that a fat reduced "diet" product actually has a lot more sugar in it instead, otherwise it wouldn't taste like anything. Usually the manufacturers put a "per serving" column on their as well (but only the per 100g/100ml is mandatory). And btw. if they do it is specified in grams, what they consider one serving. The multiplication isn't hard, when it's based on 100g/100ml.

superdau its not helpful because I dont know the weight of what I eat. I want calories for the whole pizza because I'm going to end up eating the whole pizza. The serving size is too small and so is 100g. How many calories are in the entire pizza?
