Time magazine reports mislabeling of calories in supermarkets and restaurants

http://elliptics.com/dieters/mod/gro...3&group_guid=5 Calories, fat grams, protein grams, carb grams, fiber deductions from carb grams, claims of other types of deductions from carb grams - They all have error levels that are pretty bad. Folks try counting to the nearest half gram or five calories or whatever end up with counts that appear to have far more digits of accuracy than they actually do. Yet counting works anyways. Why? Because dieting processes don't need anywhere near the accuracy that counters target. Not that I'm excusing grossly wrong numbers or deliberately wrong numbers, just that paying attention to results corrects the errors. |
