Advent calendar head-scratcher

Just in NYC restaurants, currently.

Humph. So they don’t have to list how many grams of unsaturated fats are there? We’re supposed to know that there are only three kinds of fat?

Well four, if you count back fat. :smiley:

It’s just an advent calendar that has a little door for each day Dec 1-Dec 25, and each door has a little piece of chocolate behind it, that you get to eat as you open each day.

I think you guys are missing the point. The label is an International Requirement to prove that there is no nutritious content to be found in the contents of an advent calendar. It’s illegal to make something fun into something healthy.

Then why don’t they put these on beer, huh?

Oh, it’s much better than that.

At the top of the fat hierarchy are the saturated and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats have all single bonds in their fatty acid chains. Unsaturated fats have one (mono-unsaturated) or more (poly-unsaturated) double bonds in the carbon chain. Trans fats are unsaturated (mono or poly) but not all unsaturated fats are trans fats.

Saturated fats are generally believed to contribute to “bad cholesterol” and harden your arteries, while unsaturated fats are supposedly not as bad for you (except for those trans fats).

And then there are the omega fatty acids…

Because the government believes alcohol should be regulated in the same manner as tobacco and firearms. duh!

Get me an Advent Calendar with 24 beers in it and I’ll explain.

On it!

You can open the ‘doors’ and I’ll demonstrate how to use the ‘candy’.
