6. Procedure Rub each piece of food onto a separate paper bag square. Count to twenty while you rub so that you test each food for the same amount of time. Be sure to label the squares so you remember which food you rubbed on each one. Now you have to leave them overnight. Tomorrow you'll see which foods have the most fat!
