Everybody needs to know how to make healthy choices when it comes to food. Understanding food labels is the first step. Using empty food packaging, you'll discuss what food labels are, what information can be found on them, and how to use them to make healthy choices. Learners will then compare two food labels to see which one would make the best snack.
