Oh no! Imagine having to do extremely simple maths.... It's calculus, hardly maths at all.
The whole point is the "realistic serving size" is a myth. It's like buying a bag of 30 sweets and having the serving size be 3 sweets. You know I'm going to eat the whole fucking bag in 1 go, so I would like to know the actual nutrition facts.
And like I said, usually both are on the packaging, but the 100 gram one is required by law. And depending on where you live there are laws regarding the serving size as well and it may be required.
Sorry, most people in the US can’t divide. The majority stop retaining around subtraction, and that’s giving the benefit of the doubt.
I know people who whip out the calculator for 9+13.
How do they tip, then.
It’s written on the receipts. And when it isn’t, whip out the calculator.
It's not even that the labels are sometimes cryptic. Like sure I have 400g of cheese, but how many grams is a single slice? This information is not included on the brand I buy, nor the number of slices.
So I either have to weigh a slice of cheese or count out the number of slices. Then do the math.
In the US it simply says 1 slice is x calories.
I won't understand this backwards sense of pride in shitty labeling.
Ideally nutritional facts would be given both per 100g and per some reasonable serving size (as well as clearly specifying the serving size), but if I can only have one give me 100g.
Note that while only the 100g figures are required by law, most products in Europe include the ones for serving size as well, so I'm not sure what shitty labeling people are supposedly prideful of.
Personally I would also like a section for figures per the entire package but that's exceedingly rare.
US labeling is perhaps more convenient more often, but it also frequently misleads/hides information from the consumer which I think is much worse.
Disagree at least in the case of Germany. It is 50/50 at best. Although almost every food item I've seen in France has both
I'm from the US, if I could read, I bet this post would upset me! 😅
