Nutrition and popular culture

This afternoon, enjoying the holidays and the drop in temperatures has eased my dislike for the sweltering heat, was taken a beer on a terrace and I could not help overhearing a conversation between two ladies who were at the next table. Transcribe what they said literally:

- That you will not take much fattening? (It was a soda in a small bottle that I could not identify).

- I do not know, see what makes ... 70 calories.

- Ah, well, a meal over a thousand calories, that's little.

- Well, it's quite a drink.

- That no woman.

- No, wait ... (re-read the label). It has 70 kilocalories per hundred grams.

- Ah, kilocalories!So much better!So are 70 calories per kilo! When weighing that?

- I believe that one hundred grams.

- So are (thinks) ... 17 calories!Order a whole case!

Incredible Mrs. ability to not give one! indeed, both had significantly overweight, and when I say major, I estimate them than enough 20 or 30 kilos each. No wonder ...

Worst of all is that I think is a clear reflection of what many people know about nutrition, probably one of the most important aspects of maintaining good health.
