Food labels. Misleading due to misreading
Description
Does anyone really eat a sliver of a muffin or a fraction of a pickle? In this brief ABC News segment, John Stossel blasts counterintuitive food labels that calculate fat, carbs, sodium, and other essential nutritional information based on a serving size that is unrealistically smaller than the unit size. A surefire discussion-starter for any course involving nutrition.
