Well, it can't be packaged to scientific standards, it has to be packaged to ours.
Scale accuracy was never a problem or scrutinized until ow, and successfully helped people lose weight, so it's not the accuracy of the scales that is an issue.
This is blatant consumer fraud and nothing in your field can change that fact, clearly.
This just doesn't make sense.
You wouldn't say the same when talking about other products. If you buy ibuprofen for example you wouldn't say "it can't be packaged to scientific standards, it has to be packaged to ours" if you try to weigh a single pill with your kitchen scale.
Stuff HAS to be packaged to scientific standards. Period.
If your tools at home aren't accurate enough or simply aren't properly calibrated for a specific job, it can't be the fault of the producer.
If you use a 2€ kitchen scale that is 10 years old you can't blame the producer if your measurement is off by 10%.
The producer cannot make sure YOUR equipment is proper for the task, and they can't make sure EVERYONES scales see the exact same. So of course they have to weigh with their own scales and surprise surprise they use extremely precise scales that are properly calibrated and tested regularly.
If you read his comments to my comments he states that following "their" (?) standards, the producers have to put much more product in order to """"adjust"""" for the tolerance error of random consumers. Clueless.
I think you're a bit off track. scale accuracy has been a subject of careful scrutiny for millenia. You absolutely have to use the right tool for the job. A kitchen scale is not the right tool for the job. It would be like complaining that you can't take your car's lug nuts off with a pipe wrench.
Your comment doesn't make sense, since home tools are not precise enough and that is not the manufacter fault. I suggest you read about Metrology
That is scientific standards for him, not "their" standards or whatever. Yeah clueless.
I remember being in school 20 years ago and being taught about scale inaccuracies and the importance of frequent calibration. The thing about weight loss is that you will lose weight if you're in a deficit. Your daily calorie needs are going to fluctuate a little bit, regardless. Most people don't keep activity the exact same, sleep the exact same, take exactly the same steps everyday, plus hormones fluctuate, etc. Your measurements don't have to be precise, just close enough. People have also lost weight with sloppy volumetric measurements, counting out chips, or even eyeballing the amount of space taken up on their plate. MyPlate.gov was rolled out after consumer research found that it works.
Scales used for commercial purposes, such as weighing the amount of product in a package, are regularly calibrated and checked. Messing with the calibration is considered an economic crime and comes with very harsh penalties.
What!?
