How can you help? I want to teach all folks how to correctly read food labels. It is much trickier than you may think.
This is definitely an important cause. Now if I can bring to Clinton's attention this: Learning how to read food labels is very important BUT I am finding many have errors. For example, how can a Thomas English muffin with enriched wheat flour as the #1 ingredient have 5 grams of fiber per serving size listed but another Thomas English muffin of the same weight in grams state whole wheat flour as the #1 ingredient but only has 3 grams of fiber in equal serving size? This example is not due to one company trying to outdo the other. When 2 companies are compared I have observed even more errors. How can this be? Aren't these food labels required to be accurate?
