I bought the second edition in 1973, before the labels that are now on all packaged foods and have used it for 30 years. I've had the book longer than I've had my husband (and it's been worth a lot more as well! LOL!). Yes, you can get the information from the packaging on most things, but since oranges and pork chops don't come with labeling, the information is still valuable to those of us who cook from scratch and don't eat everything out of a box. I recommend this as a handy tool to anyone who is interested in counting calories in their quest to maintain their healthy weight.Product Description
A dictionary listing of more than 8,500 entries provides accurate, up-to-date calorie and carbohydrate counts for natural foods as well as brand-name products and includes extensive cross-referencing. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
