>> No.9922100

this shit drives me crazy too. Pretty sure its just a way to keep certain nutritional % under 100. It's all bullshit

>serving size: 2
>sodium per serving: 60%

I think i'd prefer everything to be packaged in single sized servings

Because a lot of these things are probably supposed to be served as a portion of the meal, instead of being the meal themselves. It's shitty justification, but I guess you're supposed to split a Stouffer's lasagna into four for the family, and make up the rest of the meal with veggies and a starch or something.
