...Roll. No, it was not slithering off of the counter and attacking Dining Service personnel. Rather, the impudent filet challenged the oldest principles of mathematics by proclaiming that it obtained 102.1 percent of its calories from fat. In other words, there were more calories from fat than there were total calories in the food. Like some entertainment-industry "synergy" mergers, the part was greater than the sum of the wholes...
...course, there were some foods with lower calories-from-fat ratios available. The U.S. Department of Agriculture advises consumers to "choose a diet that provides no more than 30 percent of total calories from fat," and the health-conscious Annenbourgeois could easily fill his or her plate with Nacho Cheese Sauce (7.5 percent) or a large mound of Taco Meat that claimed to contain...
...phenomena could also be the culprits. Some say it takes more energy to chew and digest celery than one gets from eating it; what if one ingredient had negative caloric value? A celery stick topped with a mound of lard would have more calories from fat than it would total calories, and a ratio above 100 percent would be the natural result. Therefore, one should seek out foods with higher calories-from-fat ratios, since they are more likely to be made with these calorie-reducing ingredients...
...more fat spontaneously appeared within the body after the food were ingested, then the calories from the fat in the food would exceed the total calories in the food, and the percentage would be accurate. The same also would be true if if our bodies were able to metabolize fat with anti-fat, which upon encountering real fat annihilates it in a burst of high-energy gamma rays. This would enable the release of large amounts of energy from small amounts of fat--the 8.26 grams of fat in Grilled Tex-Mex Vegetables would, by Einstein's energy-mass equivalence...
According to Huidekoper, Harvard's recent policy change to increase endowment payout by a total of 20 percent depended on how the endowment fared...
