Wacky food labels
Ok, we're going to have a Boboli thin crust pizza tonight, and I'm looking at the "nutrition facts" to see how carbs it has. The label says it has five servings, and each 1/5 of the pizza is 28 grams. Will you please tell me who can cut up a pizza into five equal pieces? Just tell me how many carb are in the whole thing, please! The other one that gets me is Campbell's soups - you gotta be kidding me that those little cans are 2 1/2 servings!

I use East Indian whole wheat Naan bread for pizzas. It has 23 carbs for half of the size of a personal pan pizza. Loaded with veggies and bakes up just like thin crust.Family loves it !

You can thank the bureaucrats in Washington DC. They have pages and pages of regulations. Some of their FAQ's are at labeling guide
I am all for getting rid of the regulations and just telling me whats in the complete package - I'll figure it out for myself. I love the ones that say about 2.5 servings and then have to divide the total grams of the container by the grams per serving to find out hat there are 2.62 servings - get reasonable - eliminate the bureaucrats!
