1 Health Claims & Nutritional Information Sorting the wheat from the chaff -Discuss these picture cards-

2 Information overload? Even technically correct nutritional information can lead you astray. The food industry has many tricks of the trade to convince you to buy their product. Sometimes, certain information is aimed to distract you from what the product really is. For example, Low in fat! (But it’s really high in sugar) All Natural (Fat, salt and sugar are natural, aren’t they?) Contains 10 vitamins and minerals! (Real food should contain vitamins and minerals, shouldn’t it? What are they hiding?....) 2

Fat Free Salad Dressing

6 The price of eating “healthily”? How many of these ingredients do you actually recognize? - This dressing may be low in fat, but what is it likely high in? (the green) - Name three simple ingredients you could use to make a salad dressing from scratch.
