In The United States, Why Isn’t Alcohol Required To Have Nutrition Facts?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Every food you buy (except for produce) is required to have a nutrition facts label on the packaging. I’ve never seen soda, juice, milk, etc. without that label. So why is it that alcoholic beverages don’t have nutrition labels on them? (at least to tell you how many calories and all that?)

Are The Nutrition Facts On Food Products Always True? Do They Ever Leave Anything Out?

Monday, October 5th, 2009

I look at the Nutrition Facts on foods like Ice Cream and Whipped Cream, etc… I always wonder whether the companies show all of the contents or if they hide some.

Is There Any Process That Filters Foreign Foods And Their Accuracy In Nutrition Facts?

Friday, September 25th, 2009

I went to a Korean supermarket and one product claimed that 2g of protein is 84% of your DV while another product claimed to have 10 calories… while it also said it had 39g of carbs.
As there are 4 calories per gram of carbs, this is impossible.
So I was wondering… is any food agency doing anything to protect consumers from inaccurate nutrition facts of foreign foods or am I doomed to mistrust all Asian products for the rest of my life?

What Are The Nutrition Facts Of A Playboy Roll?

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I’ve been tracking my caloric intake using the daily plate on livestrong.com and it’s helping me to lose a pound and a half a week, or so it says. Anyway I went out for sushi the other night and had a playboy roll, crab, shrimp, avocado, tempura fried, etc. I can’t find nutrition information for it anywhere online. Most web sites appear to contain little to no info on it and I’d still like to track it. Can anyone help me out?
