So I get my calcium from cheese and other milk products.<BR/><BR/>library-chair - morality scoring system would be a much better name for this, that's for sure. But it's all of a piece with everything else they're recommending for ending the "obesity epidemic" (I read that as getting rid of fat people, one way or another). If it tastes good (or has enough calories to let you function), it's bad for you, if it has no taste or minimal calories, it's good for you, never mind how your individual reacts to it.<BR/><BR/>nonegiven - yeah, I read the nutrition labels on food packaging (and the ingredients list), and I go by how eating any particular food makes me feel (if it makes me sick/sleepy/not energetic/etc, tastes nasty, I don't buy it/eat it), no matter how healthy someone else thinks it is.<BR/>I use Firefox, and haven't had any problems with it, not sure if that's because it's my blog or what, though. I do know that when I post a comment, I don't have the captcha, so not sure what's up with that. I don't use IE at all, ever, so don't know what the problem could be with that. <BR/>I'll try going to back to the other comment system, where the little window pops up, and see if that helps.vesta44https://www.blogger.com/profile/15480692717585745934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397186280973403909.post-36350556810603264232009-01-26T11:38:00.000-06:002009-01-26T11:38:00.000-06:00I would rather have a system that tells me what's ...I would rather have a system that tells me what's in it instead of one that tells if someone on a low fat diet would want it or not. My own system rates food by how it will make me feel. OK, OK with limits, crappy and isn't that tasty to begin with, crappy and totally worth it once in a while, and why are we talking about this one? The more saturated fat the better in my system.<BR/><BR/>I'm having trouble with your comment system. I can't see the captcha with Firefox and I'm having trouble with getting it to post in IE.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15727857476700090660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397186280973403909.post-89855011274887638762009-01-26T09:49:00.000-06:002009-01-26T09:49:00.000-06:00Wow.

This is starting to get really annoying - I like having nutrition information available as much as the next person, but this is more like a morality scoring system. I noticed that the things that bring the score down are thus:<BR/><BR/>fat in various forms<BR/>salt<BR/>sugar.<BR/><BR/>In other words, if there's something in the food that makes it taste better, then its rating goes down on the morality scale.

I can see cheese getting a "bad" ranking - and parents not giving their kids cheese b/c it is "bad" for them (thus losing out on necessary nutrients like protein, calcium, and B vits.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
