Food Nutrition Labels

Do you read the nutrition labels on your food products?

A study found that people might make healthier food choices if labels were revised. So I’m curious, if labels gave information for an entire package, would that help you make a healthier choice than just giving the info for one serving? If the label said the package contains 3000 calories, would you stop and say, “Whoa – I think I’ll just have one serving”? I’m not sure that would work for me. There is still math involved, but this way it’s division instead of multiplication. So I guess the real question is, which basic math operation would you rather perform in the grocery store aisle?

I’ll stick with an apple.
