Have read a similar multiply thing years ago by Susan Powter and lo
and behold its also in the alt.sup****t.diet Faq too:
" For example, a serving of a brand-name turkey breakfast sausage
which is allegedly "85% fat-free" has 6 grams of fat in
each 80-calorie serving, and therefore gets more than 67% (6 * 9/80 =
0.675) of its calories from fat."

So you take how many grams of fat a product has per serving, times it
by 9 and divide by its calories, which will give you the percentage
of fat to calories which may or may not be necessary to know as most
products now have this info in that they tell on the label.
