 Post subject: Fun NY Times "calorie detective" video

A rather fun expose on those calorie counts you see on various restaurant menus.

Chipotle, Subway, a "healthy" vegan sandwich, and a couple more.
Five examples all carefully calculating the listed and real caloric values.

Runs about 5 minutes.

Thanks for sharing, that was really interesting! I have a lot of experience calorie counting and I was totally unsurprised by the results. That vegan sandwich looked like it had more than the stated 200-ish calories just in the bread, and there was tofu on it as well!
