    Lol. Starburst and Skittles. This is actually a very good visual.

    "most delicious foods"? I think I know what they mean, but that's pretty subjective, don't you think?

    Decent graphic otherwise.

    Beef jerky definitely doesn't fall into the carbs and protein category. No way does it belong in the same category as pasta and quinoa. I guess unless you're buying the extremely sweet beef jerky or something.

    My family makes our own beef jerky and simple put whatever spices sound good and then put it all in the dehydrator. A lot of beef jerky is literally just beef. So it would fit more in protein and fat if you want to be technical.

    I have no idea why I jumped on my soap box about beef jerky! I guess it's quite possible that I'm grumpy I ate the rest of my stash yesterday! :# Anyway, good graphic beyond that!

    Those are great! I thought they were all good. Some funnier than others. I like the one with the crunchy peanut butter on a slice of bread: 143 cal v. 403 cal. Importance of weighing/measuring!!

    I quite like these. I'm a fan of a good infographic. And if more people understood what eg carbs actually are, there would be less fertile ground for the cultivation of woo.

    and what exactly is this for? I feel like anybody who understands the infographic already knows enough not to need it and people who don't understand it don't care anyway.

    On the other hand...if you really need help remembering that meat is protein and cheese is fat, have at it.

    I find this sort of graphic really helpful when I'm staring at the macros I have left at the end of the of the day and wondering what on EARTH I can stick together to fit the random numbers I always end up with.
    I mean, I know most of it, but when I'm staring at a load of numbers it's easy to forget some of it...

    (Love the rest of the page too.)

    Well, a lot of people don't know that vegetables are sources of carbohydrates, so there's a wide range of nutritional literacy out there. Everyone starts somewhere.

    Actually, unless I'm too blind to see it, it seems to be missing non-starchy vegetables.

    I like the linked page. There are a lot of good graphics there. Reposting without the wonky formatting:

    This might be my favorite:

    I gave this a like. I would give it an awesome, but no way in heII would I call stuffed poblanos "spicy food." If I want spicy, I eat Thai with ALL THE STARS/CHILIS.

    Nope, it is missing those. My point was more that not everyone has the baseline knowledge of nutrition that the PP assumes they do, and not knowing something =/= not caring about the thing.
