Typically, reading food labels seem boring and complicated but watching this video made me conscious of my food intake. The food we eat fuels the body but we must know how to control or limit ourselves from eating more than the prescribed serving. Aside from my learning, I can say that this video is very entertaining because of the good visuals, brief elaborations and very comprehensive ideas. Thank you for making this video! This will surely help other students to know more about understanding nutrient labels.

This video served a great reminder to everyone how and why should a food label be read in every commercially produced food. I learned that these labels allow us to pinpoint which specific food property may affect our health the most, in regard to the quantity being directly proportionate to the appropriate number. In addendum, these rules have expanded my knowledge as to how the different ingredients of food can determine how much calories or sugar there is within a product.

In this video, I learned that it is important to check the nutrient labels first before buying that certain type of food and this video also showed me that it is not difficult to read the food label of the product since before I thought it was time-wasting and confusing to read the food label so I didn't bother to read it but now I can certainly check the calories that are in the food by the food label.

This video taught me the basics of the ways to read the part of food packaging that is mostly left unnoticed: the food label or the nutrition facts found at the back. It also emphasized the importance of calories to our body and how they work and circulate in our everyday life. In addition to this, a person who wants to live healthily must know that a good diet includes a good and proper amount of calorie intake. Next time that I encounter a food products, I will read the food label to ensure that I am eating what is right for me.
