A Lesson in Label Reading:
How to Choose the Healthiest Foods
Are you sure the “healthy” food you are buying is actually healthy? How do you know? Do you look at the numbers? Do you look for certain claims such as healthy, natural, organic, unprocessed, or plant-based?
Most consumers say they read labels to select healthy foods and limit excess calories, fat, sugar, and salt. Yet, research shows that the majority of products we buy are ultra-processed and high in calories, fat, sugar, and salt. This includes many plant-based products. All of this represents a huge disconnect between what we think is healthy and what really is. Have you been fooled?
In this talk, we will take a close look at the food label, learn how to identify what is most important, set some healthy guidelines, and learn a quick and easy system to evaluate products. Join us for this fun and informative talk, which contains generous servings of health-building information and nourishing fun. After this class, you won’t be fooled again!
“Jeff Novick's rendition of food labeling is unparalleled in its clarity and thoroughness. No one has a better insight into the folly of food advertising.” - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D.
