Hooray!  2 people guessed it right! (If you're wondering what "it" is, it's "Mystery Food Theatre", an idea I picked up from Kidsmomo's {kidsmomo.com} "Mystery Book Theatre."  Every so often, I give a food's nutrition information and a hint about what it is and leave you to guess what it is in the form of a comment.)  Anyway, the answer was water.  Someone guessed "diet soda", but they tend to have about 5 calories per serving.  Coke 0 still probably has a little sodium, though.  Yes, soda has a little salt.  So, 150 calories, 8 grams of fat (1.5 of those are saturated), 180 milligrams of sodium, cholesterol free, 17 grams of carbs, 1 grams of fiber, 1 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein per serving.  It has a really long ingredients list, as usual, with a lot of chemicals and hydrogenated oils.

Jamie Oliver is getting closer to his goal of stopping the march of highly processed foods, but he's far from done.  bum bum BUM!!!!

Plenty of things have a long ingredients list.  Did I mention that?

First off, for Mystery Food Theatre, the answer is... Nesquik!!!  Now, this week's, even without any hints, should be obvious.  It has 0 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 milligrams of sodium, potassium, and cholesterol, 0 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of protein, and no vitamins or minerals.

Second off, I will be talking about a show: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution.  Jamie goes around to different cities, stays there for a couple weeks, and tries to make the people there eat healthier. (This also means "no highly processed foods" to him.)  He goes to a school in a city that was found to be the unhealthiest city in the world by a government statistic, and they're having pizza for breakfast.  For lunch, they have pizza or chicken nuggets.  He asks them what they had for dinner, and they basically had either chicken nuggets or pizza.  When Jamie Oliver cooked chicken and the kids had a choice between pizza and chicken (which Jamie made from scratch with a store-bought chicken), they chose the pizza.  I'm not telling you how it ends to keep the suspense.  (You can watch it on their website somewhere at ABC.com.)

Third off, Bye!

Now, what you've all been waiting for: the late Mystery Food Theatre!

If you don't know what I'm talking about, check my earlier posts.  So, the answer is... General Mill's Kix! (As "Me" pointed out, it is a little low in fiber, but still, it's better than Lucky Charms.)  This chocolate milk making product has half a gram of fat (0 saturated), 14 grams of carbs (<1 fiber, 13 sugars), 60 calories, and <1 gram of protein in 2 tablespoons.  Leave a guess as a comment!

Everybody loves a good glass of chocolate milk!

Sorry, I just wanted to type that word.  So, today, for Mystery Food Theatre, instead of using an Eat This, Not That! book, today, I actually looked at the nutrition label on the product.  This time, it's a breakfast cereal, like before with Smart Start (not so smart).  By the way, last week's answer was Hardee's Monster Biscuit.  Anyway, this cereal has 110 calories, 210 milligrams of sodium, 3 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugars, and is nearly fat-free.  Comment on this post guessing what it is!

Trans fatty acids, also called trans fats, are some of the worst kinds of fats.  Before being made into trans fats (they're produced artificially), 2 carbon atoms are double-bonded and certain groups of atoms are bonded on one side of the molecule.  After hydrogenation (which turns the fats into trans fats), one of the groups of atoms shifts to the other side of the molecule, changing the molecular structure slightly.  To see an example of these molecules, go to http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/chemweek/pdf/fats&oils.pdf.  The images are on the second page.

I love being on time for Mystery Food Theatre! Every week, I choose one food to give nutritional information on.  I also give a hint on what it is, and it's up to you to guess what it is.  So, the answer to last week's mystery food theatre is... Cici's Pizza Buffet Macaroni and Cheese Pizza!!! (gross!)  It made the worst pizzas in america list in one of Eat This, Not That!'s books (of course).  So, now for the next mystery food theatre: with 710 calories, 51 grams of fat (17 saturated), and 2250 milligrams of sodium, this monster of a biscuit comes as the worst breakfast sandwich in... Guess which book it is.  (C'mon, you can guess.)  Leave a comment on this post guessing what it is!

This week, I'm on time for mystery food theatre!  Yay!

Last week, I posted a question on what a certain food was, given its nutrition facts and a hint.  The surprising answer is... (drumroll, please) Kellogg's Smart Start Cereal Maple Brown Sugar!!!  Someone (sorry, you'll have to leave your name in your comment if you don't have a blogspot account), as last time, came close with Captain Crunch, but no one got it right.  Now, for my next Mystery Food Theatre! According to one of Eat This, Not That!'s books (again) (their best and worst), this pizza buffet gimmick has 460 calories, 8 grams of fat (3 saturated), 660 milligrams of sodium, and 78 grams of carbs.  Also, If you can, guess which list this pizza made: best or worst.  Leave a comment on this post trying to guess what it is!

I know I'm writing this 2 days late, but it is now 2 days after time to reveal...

Mystery food theatre!

Last week, I posted a question on what a certain food was, given its nutrition facts.  The answer is... BK's Whopper Jr. (without mayo) with onion rings!  I'm sorry for giving facts on a complicated order with nutrition that is not up-to-date.  (BK removed trans fats from their menu, according to Eat This, Not That! the Best (and Worst!) Foods in America!)  Jennifer McGraw came close, asking if it was a McDonald's happy meal, but no one actually got it right.  Oh, well.  This time, I'll post something that isn't as complicated.  This is a supermarket food, but it wouldn't be very intelligent to eat it.  According to a photo of the nutrition label in Eat This, Not That! For Kids! (anyone notice a lot of exclamation points in their books' names?), it has 220 calories, 2.5 grams of fat (.5 saturated), 5 grams of fiber, AND 17 GRAMS OF SUGARS.  The biggest problem, though, isn't the sugars, it's the long ingredients list, with 17 lines!  The aisle you might find it in has a lot of similar-shaped boxes, some with high sugar, some with high fiber.
