Who or what is GMEPB?[edit]

The article mentions GMEPB - who or what is that? Am I being stupid?! Turbo Dragon (talk) 10:30, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One slice?[edit]

It says in citation 1 that the pie serves 16 children or 12 adults, Lets calclate how much of the pie you need for the alleged 1250 calories. 1 packet puff pastry 259 http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-puff-pastry-i18337 140g/5oz mascarpone 620 http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-belgioioso-cheese-mascarpone-i108147 110g/4oz soft cheese (about 120) http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-marks-spencer-soft-cheese-spread-i72074 50g/2oz caster sugar 190 http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-sugars-granulated-i19335?size_grams=5.0 3 eggs 68x3 204 5 Snickers bars, chopped into thin slices 1355 http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-snickers-bar-i19155 milk, to glaze negliegable Total 2748 calories, ... A slice from "the independant" 1250 calories???? = just over half the pie??? A slice for an adult 229 calories 1/12 A slice for a child 171 calories 1/16

So let me ask you, does a "slice" contain 1250 calories or does it contain 229? The Independant isn't gospel, common sence is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.76.72 (talk) 12:49, 12 January 2012 (UTC) I think the nutrition section should be removed altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.76.161 (talk) 13:35, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that the nutrition section should be removed. Other foods have such listed of all categories. Also, since there was notable mention of this pie's caloric content again I think it should be left in. Having said that, fact checking such I feel might be wise as well. Is it one slice, half the pie or some other portion that contains the 1250 calories? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.178.190.166 (talk) 12:12, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article still remains to be misleading. No clarification on what a 'serving' is. 1250 calories plucked from thin air. Recipe clearly states serves 16 children or 12 adults, no wonder wikipedia isn't a very good source for information when shit like this is included in articles. common sense should be exercised— Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.69.51.255 (talk) 11:33, 3 February 2014

I've added a new reference for the Food Commission's original publication, where the 1250 calorie figure originated, as it seems none of the mainstream media which covered the story noted the portion size, despite citing the calorie count. According to their article, they've assumed the recipe serves 4, rather than 12 or 16 as the BBC website shows. I don't think the figure was "plucked from thin air", although it is a tad higher than my own estimates (about 4,000-4,200 for the pie). The article now explains this.
