Comment on Who makes up the "serving size" on microwave food?

There is some value in a standard serving size so we can compare nutrient density between products that come in different sized packages. Often labels will have two columns on the label, one for a standardized amount and another column for the entire package.

Yes the standard serving size of a can of pop. Is the can of soda!

  Yes, I am in favor of the label having a column for the whole can, but also not all cans are the same size, for example Coke has at least four different sizes of cans: travel67.com/…/coca-cola-serving-sizes-and-an-unu…
  
  Is having two columns of information (one for the whole package, one standard size to compare to other varieties) offensive to people?

That nutritional values are given for 100g/100ml is standard here, but the topic was the crazy measurements applied to the brand-defined serving sizes.

The brands usually abuse this to claim some crazy things like nonsensical health things (see TicTac).
