Kudos to Hostess

This morning I had a very good workout and thought I might try to fit a Ding Dong into my calories for the day. I checked the nutrition label and saw 330 calories. Not too bad but I'd have to be careful with the rest of my choices for the day. Then I looked at the serving size- 2 Ding Dongs!! What!! A serving size is 2 Ding Dongs even though they're individually wrapped!! Thank you, Hostess, for putting realistic, even GENEROUS, serving sizes on your packages! Now, if only you could make the potato chip companies follow your lead.

::Snort:: If I'd thought of that first I might not have posted. At least I didn't use "ding dong" in the title.

Maybe it made me happier than it should have, but deciding to eat a treat and then realizing it's half the calories you thought- YES!!

Yup. Two cupcakes. Oddly it's not vegetarian.

US manufacturers may soon be required to have more realistic (as in, closer to the amount people are actually eating) serving sizes:

That would be so nice. I have popcorn that actually gives the calories per cup and per bag, which is great because it makes it really easy to log. I think that's the only time I've seen that kind of label, though.

Probably has gelatin in it.
