That's apply a different quantifier.

Ok, we'll do it by weight.

10 ounces of celery has 0.1 grams of total fat, with no saturated, trans, polyunsaturated, or monounsaturated fat.

Edit: Celery contains the fatty acids: petroselenic (64.3%), oleic (8.1%), linoleic (18%), linolenic (0.6%), and palmitic acids.

10 ounces of chippy chips would be?

And:

Scientists from University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust and the University of Warwick placed Matt Tebbutt of Channel 4’s Food Unwrapped in a metabolic chamber, which measured the calories ingested and burned while he ate celery in various forms over a period of 12 hours.

After being fed both celery raw and in a smoothie – each containing 53 calories — Tebbutt burned 72 calories while eating the raw celery and 112 while drinking the smoothie. In both cases, he burned more calories digesting the celery than the celery contained.

23g, but again moving the goal posts, my initial statement in reply to your editing my initial post that all food in sufficient quantities is a fat food still stands true.

See my edit to clarify (sic) the fat content, and other post re net loss.

I'm quite happy that you out pedant me. :)

But I'm putting off doing some work :D

And as Weeksy pointed out elsewhere, I can't edit your post.

Celery is now considered a food? It's political correctness gone mad I tell you.

I'd like to know how much celery is left to rot in the salad drawer and is then thrown away. 90% would be my guess.

Yes, but made in a Marks and Spencer factory.
It may well be, but the haddock with his name on it isn't as good as the ordinary M&S haddock that's cheaper. (Yes, I'm a snooty twat that buys food from M&S)

All the manufacturers make ugly bikes, Kawasaki make the Z-RS retros which look okay, but I don't fit the 900
