They should also post information about how much calories are burned by the simple act of walking or jogging.

It's pretty disgusting when you read how hard you have to exercise to burn off what it took you minutes to eat. A 180 pound man burns about 100 calories a mile at a brisk 3.5mph. You'd have to walk 6 miles and kill two hours of your day just to burn off that one cookie.

So getting fit will make it much easier for someone to eat higher calories and not get fat.
