Dietitians Urge Kids to Read Food Labels

This is useless or worse.

Since food labels are bad, what is the point?

BTW, note that these kids are not learning to analyze a food label, they are being taught to recognize certain select characteristics which may not lead to weight control.

"Another shopper, Sofia Rachi, 10, said she always reads foods labels and likes to look at the colored boxes, but when pressed, the youngster admitted she didn't 'really know what to look for.'

Though the labels can be tricky even for adults, some nutrition experts say it is reasonable for children to grasp the concept by focusing on a few components."

I would like to see them estimate serving sizes.

Wouldn't you?

Any bets on their success?
