"In CS, it can be hard to explain the difference between the easy and the virtually impossible."
It seems we're at a point where this obligatory xkcd [1] is no longer true.

The bird thing was at least _possible_, though, to a reasonable level of accuracy. What they're claiming to do here is completely impossible; there is simply no way of even vaguely accurately determining the calorie content of food based on a picture of the food.
It took a bit more than 5 years and a (single) research team, though.
Anything's possible if you're willing to fake it!
