Some grocery stores have started posting very informative information in the produce section. Label the nutrition facts next to the item you are thinking of purchasing. Some of these labels provide details about vitamins and their impact on the body. For example, next to bananas at a Wholefoods grocery store the label says high in potassium and will give you energy. Chain restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory are required to provide nutritional information on most menu items. The FDA is trying to incorporate the same information about prepackaged meals in grocery stores. “The proposed regulation would require store owners to label prepared and unpackaged foods found in salads and snack bars, soups and baked goods” (Bream). If we take the time to read these labels, I believe there will be a reduction in obesity. Continued help from the government is needed to ensure this regulation is incorporated into all grocery stores. This support will encourage Americans to choose healthier foods over foods that do not provide much benefit
