This informative primer about the nutritional guideline labels on foods—regulated by the Food and Drug Administration—uses clear examples and vignettes (“there's no way I'm gonna eat [only] half a can of soup!”) to deliver its healthy message. Nutrition Labels: Reading Between the Lines features explanations of serving size, calories, nutrients, ingredients, saturated and unsaturated fats, percentage of daily values, and more. Teaching viewers how to read a label and make smart food and drink choices that are based on personal caloric needs, the program features onscreen comparisons; notes on avoiding sodium, cholesterol, and preservatives; and guidelines for looking beyond misleading pictures and claims from corporations that essentially only want your money. Recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (J. Williams-Wood)
