New Calorie Counting Information Coming Soon!

Some of us have food issues for lack of a better way to put it.  Some of us live by the old Lays Potato Chip motto, 'you just can't have one.'  So what happens when you happen to eat an entire package of your favorite junk food?  How many calories is that exactly?  Well thanks to  new food guild lines consumers will know how much they're actually consuming.  Who hasn't thought at one time they could eat an entire box of cookies?  Or perhaps, like me,  a frozen pizza is your favorite food?  Here's what will happen now thanks to the Food and Drug Administration.
