Nutrition Facts Label � “People look at food labels for different reasons. But whatever the reason, many consumers would like to know how to use this information more effectively and easily. The following label-building skills are intended to make it easier for you to use nutrition labels to make quick, informed food choices that contribute to a healthy diet. ” http: //www. fda. gov/ucm/groups/fdagov-public/documents/image/ucm 173846. gif The US Food and Drug Adminstration.

Behavior �Sedentary lifestyles have become the norm �More than ½ of American adults are physically inactive �Poor diet and lifestyle have lead to increased obesity, risk of diabetes, risk of heart disorders http: //www. columbia-cfcm. org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Lose-Weight. jpg Cohen, L. (2012). Prevention is primary. (2 nd ed. ). San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass
Potential Benefits of Labeling �Examining how providing calorie and nutrient information influences consumers' food-related evaluations and choices. �How prior expectations came into play and whether providing calorie and nutrient information after consumption changed subsequent food choices. �Providing nutritional information can influence subsequent food consumption, especially when consumers' expectations are not fulfilled when they examine the information. Howlett, E. A. , Burton, S. , Bates, K. , Huggins, K. (2009). Coming to a restaurant near you? Potential consumer responses to nutrition information disclosure on menus. Journal of Consumer Research, 36(3), 494 -503. doi: 10. 1086/598799
Potential Benefits of Labeling �For example, "When a 'great taste' claim was used to describe a restaurant menu item, the provision of calorie information did not affect consumers' perceptions, presumably because foods that claim great taste are typically expected to be relatively high in calories, " the authors explain. “ http: //www. foodportfolio. com/b/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/foodphotographyseminar 1. jpg Howlett, E. A. , Burton, S. , Bates, K. , Huggins, K. (2009). Coming to a restaurant near you? Potential consumer responses to nutrition information disclosure on menus. Journal of Consumer Research, 36(3), 494 -503. doi: 10. 1086/598799
Potential Benefits of Labeling �On the other hand, when a 'low calorie' claim was presented but the menu item was higher in calories than expected, the provision of nutritional information increased the perceived likelihood of 1) gaining weight and 2) developing heart disease. Howlett, E. A. , Burton, S. , Bates, K. , Huggins, K. (2009). Coming to a restaurant near you? Potential consumer responses to nutrition information disclosure on menus. Journal of Consumer Research, 36(3), 494 -503. doi: 10. 1086/598799
Potential Benefits of Labeling � Nutritional information can help consumers moderate their eating over time. � In one study, participants ate a sandwich that they later learned was unexpectedly high in calories. � After this discovery, the participants ate fewer snacks throughout the rest of the day. http: //2. bp. blogspot. com/-gz.
