Interactive Guide to What’s Inside: Nutrition Food Labels

Starting with a brief look at the history and evolution of the food label, this CD-ROM gives viewers useful information on the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1994. When a label says "light," what does this mean? When a label says "less fat," how much is less? Can a label make a claim to improve health? What is a "Daily Value" and how does it relate to you? How can a food label help you eat a healthier diet? Viewers find answers to these and other questions. Learn how the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Food Guide Pyramid relate to the valuable facts found on labels. An entertaining and essential lesson for classes studying contemporary nutrition or consumerism, groups discussing family nutrition, and individuals interested in making the best nutritional choices.
