Should I Eat That? Reading Food Labels

[Love2TravelAway]

-- U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency -- have ruled that genetically-modified foods deserve an exception: they can be sold without being labeled "genetically modified." This strategy has successfully prevented consumers from exercising informed choice in the marketplace, reducing the likelihood of a consumer revolt, at least in the U.S., at least for now.

Best food is fruit, meat and bread.

Best drink is water.

Anything more u need to know?

@Rockyeeful For the vegan, meat is not food =)

[Rockyeeful]

@Mekelsior Meat is good food. If they like it or not. It's their decision to not acknowledge it as food. But when you got nothing else to eat but meat. You can choose to die or eat meat for example! :)

[Mekelsior]

@Rockyeeful Agreed, for me I no longer consider meat as food.. =) I`m no fool though, but I will labor extremely hard to avoid eating dairy and animals. =)

The best food is picked when it's ripe and eaten shortly thereafter. Variety is your friend.

You can look up the nutrient makeup of every individual food item sold in America in the USDA nutrient laboratory database. I made a spreadsheet of the 25 most common items I use in the kitchen just to have an idea of how many cups of each item I need to include in meals. I'd recommend doing the same to anyone who cooks.

the protein Myth is so crazy..so glad this man said that if you are getting enough calories you are getting enough protein:) He is very wise and very cute..and the fact that food actually lives in a package is absurd..it does not live it is dead.

Stick with whole foods, most of which don't have nutrition labels. The ones that do don't have any added fat, sugar, sodium, or any of that crap so you don't have to worry about silly ratios. If you want to eat the healthiest diet, just eat whole foods and keep this junk to the bare minimum, if you consume it at all. Just be sensible, folks. It's not rocket science.

[FM897]

@FM897 The foods that are the best for you come straight from the earth and are in their natural (or mostly natural) state. That's what humans ate before a few people decided to process, package, and market everything.

Reading food labels is so old school. Just buy food without labels and stop worrying about it.

Cant get enough of these videos!!

[ComradeRama]

Why is this guy teaching people how to read food labels. Shouldn't he be telling people not to eat that crap at all?

[MidnightOkami]

@ComradeRama He's making more of an awareness on how crooked these big name companies usually are- It's good information for the people who are on the fence about making a diet change. You know and I know it's crap, but alot of people are stubborn are need "proof".. Just so they know we aren't exaggerating. ;)

Is that a "greater than or equal to" sign by the 3 sugars' word? I would take it that you would want to have less than ( <) or equal to sign by the 3 sugars word.
