They are trying to get uniform rules on packaging and nutrition labels, but when politics (and the PACS funding their re-election) is more important than common sense, I don't hold my breath.
Same with the "uncured" meat products that use cultured celery juice to in fact nitrite cure the product.
Ya, but saying zero on one part of the spray can and then 9 calories per gram at the bottom seems like some type of dodge also. Who knows...
You missed the whole picture. 9 + 4 + 4 = 17 calories per gram.

I take a photo of the fine print with my phone and blow it up in picture mode.

when I was a broke college student, these were like 4-5 for $1, milk was never in the mix, and big night was adding cut up hot dogs. I was real broke back then. but it made me who I am today.
One housemate used carrots all week until he could splurge on hotdogs on weekends.
I used to get generic mac&cheese at the dollar store along with non dairy creamer and I would make it with that and water.A case of ramen noodles and some generic canned chicken/tuna went a long way too!Always had beer money though.
Both of you must be younger than me.
Store brand Mac-n-Cheese boxes were 10 for $1. The real? stuff was 6-8 per $1 and way out of our league as the store brand was just a good.
No Ramen in those days and milk was dirt cheap.
We had a bottle machine in the basement of the house (housing cooperative)
Blatz was 25¢ as Mountain Dew and 7 UP. Blatz took the double rack as it was the top seller.
Bought beer by the 45 case pallet. Volume discount and free delivery.
Profits helped fund house parties.
I had a great paying student worker job. Got to eat a little higher on the hog.
