This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

European here. Sorry, but it is so ridiculous that labels don't just show some standardized "per 100 g" so things are easily compared without math.
Imagine how we feel in the US being given numbers interchangeably in ounces and pounds. Nothing like dividing random numbers by 16 in your head in the store. Grams would be so much easier for this purpose.
Yeah same opinion here, guess they cant make it easy for people to know what they put in their bodies or they might start caring right?
