All Insurance Underwriters  Changes to "Nutrition Facts" labels 

A new look is in the works for the “Nutrition Facts” labels that are found on nearly every food package in grocery stores. Some changes that will be made are Calories will be in a larger bolder font. Serving sizes will be updated to be more realistic; will be easier to see if there are added sugars. When the labels were created two decades ago the main focus was Fat. People now focus on how many Calories they are eating.  The serving size have long been misleading, with many single serving packages listing multiple servings, this was to make the calorie count lower. "Our guiding principle here is very simple, that you as a parent and a consumer should be able to walk into your local grocery store, pick up an item off the shelf and be able to tell whether it's good for your family," said first lady Michelle Obama, who joined the Food and Drug Administration.


What do you think of this change? Is it too much for something that already works? Or do you think this is a well over due change that needs to be made?
