SO true!

The reason for making the servings ridiculously small (on the label) is so they can make the percentages of the things ‘not good for you’ smaller & look better IE: sodium, fat, sugar, etc.

Serving size is for full grown adults who weigh 98 pounds or less who feel full drinking one 8 ounce glass of water ! !

That’s one serving of sodium/fat enriched chili on top a 1/4 lb. nitrate laced hot dog served in a wonderfully glutenous bun! Mmmm, mmm, good!

Like Ben & Jerry’s pint… servers??? but with the lid off & a spoon in your hand … it serves one nicely:)

http://gizmodo.com/5985224/what-200-calories-actually-looks-like-in-foodThe above link will clearly demonstrate the difference of the actual amount of food in 200 calories. The lesson is: processed food will NOT give you enough food to fill full. Raw veggies and fruit will be more than enough to fill full.The calories versus # of serving sizes is a MARKETING PLOY and nothing more.Don’t forget that there is BIG difference between GOOD and BAD calories.

Better to make your own soups and other meals. Not only do you get what you want in it. NO preservatives.

suggested servings means a serving for a child of 2 that has a full ellie belly

I remember the late Andy Rooney complain about the incredible shrinking food products. Why, they can’t call it pound cake any more! Isn’t anything sacred?

Canned chili? Must be Frito Pie for dinner.

You obviously haven’t been to the UK lately.

Most active men would starve on a 2000 calorie diet. Let the flaming begin…..
