[Thonderal]

very valuable information, I used to picked whatever has an 'A' on it but not anymore, thank you very much for your research!

[anushakademane]

All your videos are very informative! I appreciate the effort put on research on each topic👏
If you can make video on all the different types of dairy and their usage especially milk, yoghurt and cream etc it will be of great help!

I love your energy, and you cover some incredibly useful topics for German learners! Would you ever consider starting a podcast?

[Evkayne]

I wonder what it's like to live life without looking at nutrition labels. The arrival of NutriScore made me realize there are people out there who just don't?

[BlackUnicornVlogs]

I'm in Germany and was wondering about this nutri score. I found myself using google translate to read labels in the store ☺

[joannunemaker]

Thank you for explaining this. I'll now know what this is next time I come to Germany.😊❤

We also have food traffic light markings on ready meals in the UK.

can you make a topic also on electric consumption grading? i still cant get on how to pick the best appliance basing on the energy consumption.

Thanks for this informative video! I was amazed when I looked in the Nutri Score of Grape juice and noticed it was worse than the one on a Coke bottle. Now I know why.

[ScarletGhost]

Yvone was really proud of that "soiled with oil", wasn't she? XD

[johnadoga]

Informative video... Your video Editing always on point and wonderful. mind I ask, which app do you use???

[jishajoseph]

Wow. This is a very useful information. I used to think that whatever is A is good for health.😀

[elliek]

Awesome! First I was excited to see this labeling here in Germany, but after a few "wait a minute" discoveries on labels, for example how the food is processed or should be processed ) I'm more cautious about accepting it )) so yeah, good intention but the execution is questionable. Vielen Dank!!

I had no idea about the catgegories. I only very rarley buy frozen fries, so I never looked at the scores there, but I have seen pizzas from A to D and wondered how a frozen pizza can have an A. I think I also saw that some full grain flour had a much worse score (D) than some product that was just flour+water+yeast+salt, probably not because the flour was really unhealthy, but because the flour was compared to flour from other grains.

It would have been interesting if you had put some clips of videos shopping in stores too.
