Shocked and Speechless. Is this true?
Hey everyone. I read this article last night and while it was lengthy I was glued to my screen and couldn't stop reading. Has anyone else heard about this? Is it a hoax? So disturbing.

I just bought, "Better Homes and Gardens New Dieter's Cookbook" and the recipes look great and while it does list the nutritional information per serving, not one states how much is considered a serving.
