What if you knew a cookie would take 20 minutes to run off?
CheryG:
IMO the real problem is that humans don't have a universal mpg. But neither do cars and we're totally used to that type of thinking. I'd be inclined to use a little gas pump icon rather rhan a runner icon.
Magic Microbe:
I dont think this is the way to enjoy a healthy relationship with food.
Natasha:
I totally thought this thread would be about a cookie that wasn't that popular, and so nobody took it for 20 minutes.
PWWP:
A single pack containing two Suzie Q's Cakes contains 500 calories. So I'll usually buy a pack and eat one and have the other on a different day. That's healthy eating!
Ice Cream:
I do not interpret it this way at all. To me it says that both food and exercise are required for a healthy life style.
Would you feel the same way if the article had been phrased as follows?
"One attention-grabbing idea being explored: Labeling foods with “exercise calories,” or the amount of physical activity needed to burn them off. For example, a bowl of pea soup might say it has 230 calories, alongside icons indicating that amounts to 42 minutes of walking or 22 minutes of running."
