Chosen before the creation of the world?

Ephesians 1:4 "For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight."

Does the timing of the choice mean that "we" or representations of "us" had existed (in him?) before the creation of the world?

M fast food in a healthy way?

I wondered if I was taking too much sodium, cholesterol, and fat from M fast food, and I wondered if one could have M fast food in a healthy way, so I put together a spreadsheet to do some calculation. If you also eat at M frequently enough, the spreadsheet might be useful to you as well.

This is an Excel version that can be used in a browser or downloaded:

This is a Google Spreadsheet version than can be used online after signing in or exported to an Excel file:

M's Nutrition Calculator is fun to use, but it does not provide warnings about excessive cholesterol, etc.:

The objective of the spreadsheet is not to scare friends away from fast food, but to facilitate friends' taking advantage of the time-saving and cost-saving of fast food in a healthier way. For example, a fish sandwich plus a side salad (and a yogurt parfait) seem OK for a meal. On the other hand, the items on the breakfast menu generally contain too much cholesterol and too much sodium.

There should be other factors that influence whether food items are healthy and whether data are correct. Nevertheless, it's nice that M at least provides some data for reference. Without relevant data, we cannot be sure that food items at other restaurants are healthier.
