I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Phone and iPod are still charging. I don't wear makeup, really. All hair stuff is in 3 ounce bottles in a one quart bag. Two bathing suits are packed, since I'm going to Florida and plan to spend most of the time on the beach. Not planning on going anywhere fancy, but I've got a cute dress that I can throw in just in case.

Sandals! Beach requires sandals.

How can an actual food have a zero calorie count?

I tossed some giardiniera into a bowl with red peppers and cucumber. The label says 0 calories, even though there are teeny green olives with pimento in amongst the cauliflower, peppers and carrots.

Does this mean that the energy produced by the food is less than the energy expended to consume it?

That does seem weird. I thought there was a lot of fat in olives.

Maybe the vinegar they were soaked in mitigates the oil?

Cauliflower, peppers, and carrots all have calories, too.

I think if there are less than .5 calories per serving, it can legally be labeled as zero. (Ditto for "fat free" packaged foods.)

Maybe she has more functional version available, or could sell you an e-version that would let you print them as you like. (Any office supply and many big box stores will have light card that you can print on with a home printer.)

Hmm, I found this on Yahoo answers

Manufacturers are allowed to label their products zero calories if they contain less than 5 calories.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And for some things, the serving sizes can be much smaller than you plan to eat, so "zero" calories can be very much not zero. That said, it's not a lot of calories.

Now I want olives.
