You’ll see most people do not read the labels of the food they are buying. This is because they don’t care, it takes time and people nowadays are very busy. Like Berry said, “they buy what they want-or what they have been persuaded to want-within the limits of what they can get.” People are accustomed to buying what they have been taught to buy by their parents or caretakers as they were growing up. We learn to eat what we have been given as children and we tend to follow that same pattern of eating, which, for most people, is what we can

The role of dietary factors in the etiology of several cancers has been extensively investigated over the last few years including colorectal cancer (Bazensky I, Shoobridge-Moran C, Yoder LH, 2007). Cohort as well as case-control studies have been designed; they include a progressively larger number of subjects and are based on increasingly more detailed information (Manjinder S. Sandhu, Ian R. White, and Klim McPherson, 2001). However, considerations must be made when selecting appropriate dietary assessment methods for these studies. Accurate estimates of habitual dietary intake remain a challenge in the study of diet-disease relationships (Jackson et. Al, 2011). This is because dietary assessments could be affected by a number of factors such as motivation to complete assessments and reporting bias associated with unstructured eating patterns, concerns with body image and weight status (Livingstone MB et. al, 2009). Besides these, the study design, outcomes of interest , and available resources need to be taken into consideration when selecting an appropriate dietary assessment tool for a particular study (Jyh Eiin Wong et. al, 2012).
The protein shakes had the least of amount of sugar which is interesting given that fact that it had the most calories. Energy drinks have relatively low amounts of sugar as well, thanks to the zero calorie energy drinks. However, this could also be due to the fact that nutrition labels on 20 oz. soda bottles were 1 serving and labels on energy drinks were 2 servings even though they were in one can.

A food label is a source of advertising a food product. Manufacturers try their best to make their product food label as attractive as possible, by using bright colours, bold text, food claims, and a lot of information. Too much information on a food label might have caused a lot of painful headaches for consumers; but it's all worth it, due to many health and nutrition problems. By law, manufacturers must abide by the standard code terms of what is put on their food label. By this, a food label must have no false claims or information, be in English and legible and easy to see. Also must contain a barcode, name of food, list of ingredients in descending order of weight, net weight, any additives in the food, country of origin, use of imported ingredients, name and address of manufacturer, date marking and nutrition panel if any claims are made.
Studies have found that free range eggs have four times more Vitamin D than eggs from conventional cage-reared chickens. Vitamin D is a nutrient that most people don't get enough of because we don't get enough sunshine and don't get much of it from the food we eat. Research has shown that Vitamin D deficiency can lead to weak bones, diabetes, certain types of cancers, multiple sclerosis and heart disease. According to the US Department of Agriculturez conventional eggs contain an average of 34 IU/ 100 grams whilst free range eggs contain three to six times that amount of Vitamin D.

On every food product there is a table of nutritional information that states the exact health contents of the food. There is also a list of ingredients that provides consumers with details regarding the food. In today’s times, consumers are flooded with choices of seemingly similar products. I do not know the difference in nutrition amongst these products. Food labelling is often misleading and deceptive, and I feel as if I have been left in the dark, but also that there is a hidden shadow side that may exist as consumers’ ignoracne may lead to naive incorrect choices.
Labeling Anticipated changes in food labeling legislation will determine the manner CC labels its cakes' nutritional content.

There are plenty of people that do not pay close attention to the nutrition labels on food, or do not understand what’s in the food that we eat.

To survive in life we need to consume food whether it is for nutritional value or for the pure enjoyment of its savory taste.

Most adults know what is good and bad for the body. We all know that diets rich in fruits and vegetables fuel the body in a healthy way and that protein gives us energy. Although we know what food is best for our bodies, each individual has a personal choice of what they put into their bodies and that should not be dictated by the government, even though
