[QUOTE="Celeriac, post: 978880, member: 188243"] Calories were invented by a Frenchman to show how much energy it took to heat a specified amount of water to a specified temperature. It was never designed to compare the energy values of different foods consumed by humans. No exerise bike can tell you that you burned 140 calories accurately, since our metabolisms are different. A calorie is not a calorie, otherwise people on low carb diets would all get fatter. I wouldn't let a morsel of American food past my lips unless it was organic, as their lack of food labelling is truly frightening. [/QUOTE]
