money , greed, and lobbyists is the USDA...they arent protecting anyone except theyre bank accounts
if its not growing out of the ground and "really organic"...you should not be putting it in your body.
People see Organic or Natural and automatically think 'healthy', but that is certainly not always the case. Too bad these packages cannot clearly state that.
dear frustrated 49,
to answer the question of how many calories are in spray butters and oils consider the ingredients, OIL, the can has just as much calories as the real thing, the tricky difference the food company making the spray is trying to sneak by the the serving size, oil is oil and has the same calories no matter which way you slice it, spray oils try to get around this by labelling the serving size as five sprays, do you know what the company considers a sufficient spray??? 1/4 of a sec!!!! you almost cant press the button that fast! so for all of you who think you are saving calories by using spray oil, you're not unless you follow the fingerprint weight serving size indicated in small print on the back of the can.
I have to agree with rhirhi. How about Americans start to learn how to take some responsibility for being so overweight. Every year our country rates at the most obese and it can all be blamed on LAZINESS. Yes there are temptations for quick and easy and just pop it in the microwave and go...but come on. Are your really that busy?? Subscribe to a magazine that shows you how to cook homemade meals in under 30 minutes like Everyday Food. They have simple, delicious and healthy recipes in there and even outline a whole weeks worth of dinners. Get off your butt and play with your kids or go for a walk or anything active....and if you think you can still eat frozen foods and lose weight because you exercise...good luck. It is just so frustrating yes that food companies are making these items for us to consume knowing how unhealthy it is for a human body...but it's even more frustrating that American's fall for it.
How about checking out the labeling on Parkays Zero calorie spray butter. Sure there is no calories in 5 sprays, but how much in 6? I tried asking the parent company, ConAgra foods about it & they carefully drafted a letter that pretty much said, “We aren’t going to tell you.” Does anyone have information on calories in the zero calorie spray butters?
