It would be a good news for the general because of the fact that most of the people buy food base on the label and choose the suitable one in order to balance their daily meals. However, lots of corperations always give the wrong information so that they can earn more by making use on people\’s psychology. After the bringing out of the new system, the more reliable labels will guide the consumer to make a correct decision.
NEW nutrition labeling scheme aims at people being aware of eating. For now, people are cleverer than before since they\’d reached lots of these information, why they need to stay healthy by meals or what the importance of choosing right food. Such as talks by nutritionists, AD by governors, brochure by some company, etc. We knew all the things which is related to food in fact. We still treat the nutrition of the food because of our desire afterwards. For example, we love eating treats as it\’s tasty. We can\’t care the consequence too much because we just want to take pressure off, whatever it is salty, oily, something like these. As a result, this label isn\’t useful for the clevers. It\’s for customers to get more hints of the product so as to be smart. Will it benifit us much? I don\’t think so.
