For those of you who want to analyze everything that passes your lips USDA has a new web page that will give you the details on any food products.

MyFood-a-pedia – The much anticipated MyFood-a-pedia is a new online tool that gives consumers quick access to nutrition information for over 1,000 foods. The MyFood-a-pedia provides calorie count information on the contribution of the food to the five food groups people need to be healthy. MyFood-a-pedia, located at www.MyFoodapedia.gov, also provides the number of “extra” calories in foods from solid fats, added sugars, and alcohol.

I’m sure this will help some people but it just kind of takes some of the taste out of food for me. Just for the record, I was not anticipating this.
