Informing Consumers Label reading and people being informed of

what’s in their foods It dictates that you stay away from fatty,

fried and pre-packaged foods, processed foods

Because of this people eat more whole foods, they are more aware of what they are eating

Though they spend more money, they buy less and therefore often eat less
