The US Food and Drug Administration is proposing that nutrition labels be overhauled (the left picture above is the old way and the right is the new proposed way). For some perspective, food labels have not really changed in the last 20 years. The premise for the change is that the real information people need should be highlighted to emphasize calories and added sugars. The FDA is also trying to make sure that serving sizes reflect how people really eat or drink, not random sizes to sometimes drive the calories down like what we see today. So a full bag of chips would reflect the calories on the full bag.
Great news! The jury is still out on whether it would really change the way people eat though.
Cheers Eights & Weights!

Eating healthy can help lose weight and have more energy and prevent many diseases. It is not about strict dietary limitations, staying unreasonably thin, or denying yourself of the foods you love.
