What does 200 calories look like?

This feeds my fetish for all things visual as well as a mild obsession with food. A really simple but very interesting way to show the calorific content of different foods by showing an actual image of that quantity of food that delviers the 200 calories. From infosthetics and wisegeek

I love infographics. It seems like such an amazing skill to have, to be able to take lots of complex data and graphically represent it so that people who often have little understanding of the complexities of the subject can easily grasp the core information.
In the world of media, there is a lot we could learn from this discipline to get us away from the endless charts and numbers.
