Happy Harvest Moon Festival!



"Even though it is a tradition to eat moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is important to remember that even a small moon cake is the equivalent of a bowl of rice," Nutritionist Chen Pei-jung (陳珮蓉) for the health department said.

The health department reported that egg yolk pastries contain about 250 calories each while traditional moon cakes have up to 560 calories each. Chen suggested eating no more than a quarter of a moon cake in one sitting, explaining that the pastries are loaded with oil and sugar. She said that an average male's caloric intake should be around 2,000 calories and a female's 1,600 calories per day.

So the moral of this holiday is that if you eat too much mooncake your ass will be the size of the moon. Enjoy!
