Units

The complaint on my social media feeds was that if you type "rice-cake" into Wolfram Alpha it doesn't tell you about rice cakes, but I find it fascinating that it breaks down "rice" and "cake" into common units (calories, calories from fat) for standard serving sizes, and shows you those units added together.

I'd think you'd want it to do the subtraction. "rice-cake" should be 122g, but -20 calories.
