The labels on the food you buy are going to look a lot different in the next few years, and the government hopes the change will help you make healthier decisions. First lady, Michelle Obama, made the announcement about the FDA-approved revamp of the labels. The new labels make it easier for you to see how many calories people are eating, with a bolder font. Manufacturers will also be forced to add the amount of sugar in the product on the labels, as well as clearer serving sizes. Nutrition labels have not been changed significantly in over two decades.

Nowadays with people becoming more and more health conscious it is important for food companies to advertise the ingredients and health facts for their products and provide the information necesary for people to make good food choices. This article by CNN shows a plan for the change of food labels which marks a positive healthier change in food production. It has been a very long time since the industry has changed the food label formatt so this change is a very big deal not only to food companies but citizens everywhere.
I think this is a good step forward and I hope it encourages even more people to eat healthier.
