Reading Food Labels Without Confusion 📖🤔

Most people underestimate how much they’re eating simply because they don’t realize a package has multiple servings. Knowing serving sizes teaches portion control not restriction, helping you manage energy balance without confusion or guilt.

👉 Start with the Serving Size

👉 Focus on the Big Three: Protein, Carbs, and Fats

In a major win for animals, Switzerland is changing its food labels. New rules will require meat, eggs, and milk to disclose whether the animals endured procedures like castration, dehorning, tail docking, or teeth clipping without pain relief.

Did you know the % of actual food vs filler in packaged goods can huge-ly vary?
One tin of tuna had 35% tuna (cheap flavour-oil brand), while another had 73.5% (premium brand in spring water). Same goes for tomato tins, chicken nuggets, etc.

When you shop:
• look beyond the branding or flavouring
• check the % of main ingredient
• compare unit price and nutrition panels

What matters most to you, taste? nutrition? cost? Pick your priority & read the label.

📋 FDA finally updates "healthy" food label rules after 30 years. Apparently defining "healthy" is harder than quantum physics! New rules set strict limits on sodium, sugar, and fats while requiring actual nutritious ingredients (shocking, I know 😱). Manufacturers have until 2028 to figure out what "healthy" means. #FoodLabels #HealthyFood
