Calories on the front of a Coke can? Its a cylinder technically there is no front or back.

@Adam: OH GOD.
@PSFarm: I think "front of the can" is generally known as "the 'side' that features a giant logo and is most likely sticking out when you buy it at the store." A blank can may not have a front or back, but when there's something printed on it that may give us something to perceive as the front and back even if they technically...don't exist. Ish.

As to the candy thing, "Moore said his results were not strong enough to recommend parents stop giving their children candies and chocolates. 'This is an incredibly complex area,' he said. 'It's not fair to blame it on the candy.'"
No, it's not. You might be able to blame it on high fructose corn syrup or some food colorings (British study, sorry ... colourings). But to make this kind of broad generalization does a disservice to an entire industry, and organizations such as the Milton Hershey School.
Dammit, now I've got myself worked up. Where are those chocolate truffles ...
