FDA Seeks To Change Nutrition Labels In Effort To Fight Obesity...
Dear Reader,
After a recent study finds that America is the most obese nation of all developed countries, the Food and Drug Administration has announced it will unveil changes to the nutrition labels we see on our foods.
The agency has been working to revise these labels since 2003, facing down stiff resistance from the food industry. So don't expect a grand overhaul, but rather a shift toward more useful nutritional information on foods that millions of us eat every single day.
The changes could come as early as this year.
With obesity numbers being such a concern, making the nutrition facts label more accurate is expected to be a reliable tool that people can use to make better, healthier food choices.
The FDA insists current labels just don't do enough to help the average shopper make smart choices about what they're eating, often in a single sitting, and some of the information on the labels is useless, and needs to be removed.
The FDA wants the new labels to...
- Reflect accurate portion sizes for the average person - for example a 20 ounce bottle of soda would be one portion instead of 2.5 portions as it is now.
- Calorie counts would then be more accurate, and more prominent than they are now.
- Scale back the visibility of the daily percentage values of nutrients such as fat and salt.
- Remove the part of the label that shows total calories from fat
Created back in 1992, the nutrition label is long overdue for an overhaul, and there is no shortage of concepts for improving it.
The University of California, Berkeley and Good Magazine brought forward a remarkable 60 original designs. Red, yellow and green, like traffic lights, was a familiar visual system used to signal if a food was good or bad. Thumbs up and thumbs down was another cue used in many of the designs. The winning concept, created by Renee Walker, has large blocks of color with each block representing a single ingredient in the food.

FDA Seeks To Change Nutrition Labels In Effort To Fight Obesity... Continued...
On the other side, the Grocery Manufacturers Association (a group that includes
300 top companies like General Mills, Coca-Cola and Nestle) represents the interests
of the food industry and has tried to convince the FDA to abandon many of the
proposed changes.
They say the 20-year-old labels are familiar to consumers and adaptable to packaging
of different sizes. The industry has been successful in keeping some changes
from being implemented - listing the amount of preservatives and the amount of
processing a food has had. Advocates worry that the manufacturers and the government
agency are far too close for comfort... or meaningful change.
Others point out that it's against the interests of the food industry to help
buyers make better choices, because this will mean they sell less product. If
people are going to lose weight, after all, they'll eat less, and this isn't
good business for food manufacturers.
Years ago you would have to chew 20 to 30 times per bite, today so many foods
are so highly processed and so stimulating to taste buds they go down in a swish
of saliva... almost like adult baby food.
Though all processing isn't bad (skim milk, lean meat and frozen veggies are
examples where it's a benefit) knowing how many steps a food has gone through
would certainly be helpful.
Watch for more news once the FDA reveals the new labels.
To your good health,
