Call for traffic light food health labels : "'Six months ago this idea was considered radical, however detailed analysis of public understanding in Britain has shown it is the most promising single measure for informing the public about the quality of their diet and a potentially potent weapon in the fight against obesity,' Prof James said."
Radical??? Sounds really sensible to me. Sometimes you cannot read the labels unless you have your glasses!! It also makes sense because it is something we could adopt internationally and I do think international food labels are in order like a lot of our tourism symbols are international. It would make life and travelling so much easier . It also means that labels are easily read at a glance. I still stand there like a lot of other people and read the back of things and it has become a topic of conversation in the aisles. We often exchange information about additives and ingredients. We are getting quite good at it now! We even recommend foods to each other, so the traffic food signs would be lovely and a good way to help kids learn the value of packaged food.
