Visual Labels

If the government really wanted to deter people from putting unhealthy, processed food in their bodies, they would use visual labels. Wouldn't it be great if labels were made this way, so you could actually see exactly what you're putting in your body? Well, for now, here's an idea of what that might look like...

Although labels probably won't be overhauled anytime soon, you can use a similar method next time you're shopping. Just look at the ingredients on the label, and watch out for these red flags:

1) sugar listed in the first few ingredients

2) a whole bunch of words you can't pronounce

3) anything with the word "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated".

If any of the above warnings are there, chances are that product is full of unhealthy fillers, higher in Calories, and probably lower in nutrients too.

Happy shopping!
