Why the sarcasm about people not being able to multiply? This initiative will help millions.

Yes, I find it interesting, too. Why the snark?

Following the logic though, why have labels at all then?

People who "are interested and smart" will go online and figure it out.

Geez Louise.

The labels now list the serving size. I never read the labels anyway.

So you're the reason they're changing the serving size. You're the one who doesn't know the 20 oz. coke is two servings, not one.

I knew it had to be someone very special for them to go to all this trouble!

I had some peanut M&m's---I looked on the bag ---220 calories for one serving ----1/4 cup---UNBELIEVaBLE!!! the pieces themselves are big ---I didn't measure but I guess 4-5 per 1/4 cup--no way ))))

Suppose no computer or smartphone handy in the grocery store for the smart and interested people to use?

I've never seen anyone using one in the grocery store.

Smartphone or ipad? I have.

I ate two servings of sugar wafers tonight.

I knew what I was doing and I did it anyway!
