In light of PM's I've received, I want to state that I'm not a cannibal nor a Satanist. I have never eaten human flesh. To clarify, the numbers I used were copied directly from the USDA listing for pork chops on bone. I used that because Victorian-era reports claimed that cannibal tribes of the South Pacific called human meat "long pig", allegedly because meat from humans is similar to pork. I presumed that smilies in my posts would imply humor and sarcasm, but I was mistaken. I apologize for any offense and confusion. Thank you.30

Of course. Clearly, the logical assumption to make, when reading such a post, is that the poster is ACTUALLY a cannibal. Not that they're just participating in a joke already in progress. Excellent use of critical thinking skills.
This is why we can't have nice things.27 -

Phew! I'm glad I only got a "woo" for my post on the topic. Apparently this is a sensitive topic to some people. Man.. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I wouldn't have handled it as well as you did.3 -

Actually, I was once really into Victorian/Edwardian era books about exploration, travel, and adventure. "How I Found Livingstone", "The Worst Journey in the World", "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo", and such. Because they're old enough to be in the public domain, I'd download the books from Project Gutenberg.

Straight to hell with you, good sir! That'll learn you to make jokes!
I have to point out, based on numerous field observations in Chicago's Field Museum, that the Maneaters of Tsavo are actually lions. My research indicates that they are stuffed and on display for the entertainment and edification of casual gawkers, who are also certainly going straight to hell. Regrettably, my Field field observations have also indicated that there is no Mold-A-Rama associated with the Maneaters of Tsavo, which continues to be a severe disappointment to my family and me. So much lost potential: SAD. However, it is scientifically interesting to note that the calorie count of a human is also of crucial importance to the study of the Maneaters, per Wikipedia:
"The two lion specimens in Chicago's Field Museum are known as FMNH 23970, the 'crouching' mount (killed 9 December 1898) and FMNH 23969, the 'standing' mount (killed 29 December 1898). Recent studies have been made upon the isotopic signature analysis of Δ13C and Nitrogen-15 in their bone collagen and hair keratin and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA. Using realistic assumptions on the consumable tissue per victim, lion energetic needs, and their assimilation efficiencies, researchers compared the man-eaters' Δ13C signatures to various reference standards: Tsavo lions with normal (wildlife) diets, grazers and browsers from Tsavo East and Tsavo West, and the skeletal remains of Taita people from the early 20th century. This analysis estimated that FMNH 23969 ate the equivalent of 10.5 humans and that FMNH 23970 ate 24.2 humans.[4]"
This provides some fertile ground for new Official Scientific Reference Standards database entries: "Browser, Tsavo East, raw, 100 grams." "Uganda-Kilindini Line Railroad Worker, Taito, raw, 100 grams."

I had a grilled cheese with tomato on wheat at a diner today. Figured I'd find a reasonable entry in the database... so many verified entries for 240-300 calories... dude, it's like 220 for the bread alone...4
-
And I don't know how many entries for "1 piece" of cake. How big is that piece? What type of cake? Who knows. .
Yes- those are annoying...It would be nice if more people at least put something of a volume description (like cubic inches)(or in fractions of the entire cake that was x" diameter).. I would love more entries in cubic inches or cubic centimeters/mL for those times when I am out and can't actually weigh the item. Although using your own non-shared food list is sometimes broken (I don't think they work in the recipe builder, and search via computer is broken) so I can see why people share stuff that is useless to anyone else.0 -
Here's one of the ones I came across today while trying to log pizza:
Large Pan Pizza With Ham Only
Pizza Hut, 1 slice, 165 calories
I don't think Pizza Hut's water is under 200 calories.
Maybe. Those are cut into like 50 squares/rectangles per sheet (typically ~1/2 the size of a normal slice from a round pie), and some ham is pretty lean.0 -
Garlic powder is really off. I told me 1/2 teaspoon was over 600 calories when inputting a recipe yesterday. o.O1

I've never had a PH pizza that was cut into squares... good to know (but still would be helpful to note that in the entry ) 1 -
I once found some entries for items from a sub chain that were suspiciously low, but they matched the nutritional info from chain's web site. But after more careful reading, I discovered the info was for just the fillings and didn't include the roll. Makes sense really, since you have different bread options, but if you didn't know that then you'd be under-counting by hundreds of calories. It would be nice if it were more clear that it was the filling only.5

Hmm. Nice recovery, but I'm putting two and two together here...
Suspiciously well-informed about Victorian era. Seems knowledgeable about taste of human...

Your best bet is to find what you want in the USDA database and plug that exact syntax into the MFP database.

Haahaa wow.
Oh well, I guess I can add to the offence when I point out that:
1. Trainee Tattooists often practice on pork skin because it is remarkably similar to human;
2. Human flesh is the only other animal flesh to make proper crackling when cooked, due to those same similarities; and
3. Human flesh smells remarkably like roast pork when it's cooking.
I'll leave people to wonder how I know all this.

I notice that the entry for human soul is all zeroes. It just so happened that the 21 grams experiment was mentioned on the front page of Wikipedia today, which was an experiment that determined a soul weighed 21g. So, I fixed that one, too:

Eating the ice cream will give you the will to live so it is negative calories.

Yes. I worked in a lab that was working on drug delivery methods through skin. We used pig skin because of the similarities. Much of it involved sending a pulse through pig skin and immediately freeze fracturing it to examine the effect on the cell structures.3 -
Deffo bumping this1

Bumping, because I have discovered today that cumin powder is more calorie-dense than a Big Mac.
At least, according to the database.
4 -
Yeah it's time for MFP to clean up the database & and find a way to mark something as an "official" entry. Ie a caloric count that comes directly from the vendor or verified against their listed calories. Kind of like the twitter check mark.1
