A store where everything is sold in 100 calorie servings.
This would help put things in perspective for some people.
many products...

There are many products that offer this, but maybe the idea of an entire store is novel. |
|
| |
Just what we need, more packaging. Make it a "10,000 Calorie Store" and I'll go for it. |
|

//Make it a "10,000 Calorie Store" and I'll go for it.// I know I'm late to the game, but the other day I had "Nutella" for the first time. Ridiculously good stuff, but I noticed it has more calories per volume than peanut butter. I'll have to look to see how it compares to eating straight butter or lard, but I bet it's close. I think the jar I bought may have been a 10000 calorie item. |
|
| |
I looked it up Nutella is 200 cal per tablespoon, pure lard is 230. |
|
| |
1 kWh = 859.8 calories. I pay 11 cents for 1 kWh.
This is 7816 calories for a dollar. |
|
| |
[MisterQED], perhaps the amount of energy in the tablespoon is written in gram calories, and the amount of energy in the lard is written in kilogram calories. I saw quite frequently kilocalories are also written as "calories" (because this word has two meanings), perhaps to trick people into buying food with more calories. |
|
| |
Gram calorie = "calorie"
Kilogram calorie = "Calorie" |
|
| |
British lard is best ... (see link). |
|
| |
Food is always labeled in Calories, not calories. Thus a comparison between lard and Nutella is legitimate. |
|
| |
Its hardly surprising, as Nutella is basically just sweetened chocolate-flavoured margarine... |
|
| |
//Food is always labeled in Calories, not calories. Thus a comparison between lard and Nutella is legitimate//
Shouldn't that be "between Lard and Nutella"? |
|
| |
I dunno, "lard" is a generic substance, whereas "Nutella" is a brand name. |
|
| |
You should make it a 97 calorie store. For tax, so it
goes. |
|
| |
Calories with a small c would be redundantly small - it would involve putting three not very relevant digits on the end. Aren't most foods measured in kilojoules now? |
|
| |
Lard is generally the highest in energy. Even sugars and unsaturated fats are lower. |
|
| |
according to Wikipedia, 0.001163 kW·h= 1 food calorie, therefore 2000 calories =2.326 kWh or about 25 cents of electricity. so if humans came in a plug-in hybrid model we could eat for a quarter a day! that means it would take nearly 160 people matrix style to power a home. suddenly i'm not worried about the machines taking over. |
|
| |
Would it help if we all drank a gallon of ethanol,
which has about 20,000 Calories? |
|
| |
Hmph, was about to post an idea for a 100-calorie food
court, only to see I was trumped by phoenix. By almost five
years. I like the idea though. |
|
| |
...although the idea doesn't suggest charging $1 for 100 calories |
|
| |
It would make dieting dead simple. |
|
| |
//Would it help if we all drank a gallon of ethanol// |
|
| |
Lord knows I've done my part. |
|
| |
This is clever, bun awarded, but it is kind of a bad idea to
think about diet in terms of calories. A 100 calorie piece of
candy doesn't react with your body the same as 100 calories
of healthy fat, low glycemic index carbs or protein. In other
words, two people can eat the exact amount of calories
with one being very healthy and one being very un-healthy. |

We got that for you, right here ... |

Good ... goooood .... just relax .... relax .... let your eyelids close .... |
