Wow, this message is really old.
1-4g of fat looks alot better to me than 10g for a spoon of oil.
Other than small amounts of fat in things like oats, corn, etc.
this is typically the only added fat I eat so I'll use cooking spray
if I want to. I'm not concerned about whether or not it fits into
%ccf.
