Encourage healthy food choices! Display total calories in a container on the front of the container of all foods!

Created by H.W. on February 22, 2014

Have you ever looked at the back of a bag of chips only to find that there are "about 2.5 serving" in a bag that is clearly serving one person. I propose that the total number of calories in any package of food list the total number of calories on the FRONT of the package next to the net weight. All products are marketed to consumers in various ways that will keep changing and evolving. We can not stop this. We can help empower consumers by requiring the package to list "Total Cal xxxxx" next "Net Weight xxx". This would be much more helpful information for consumers.

Thank you for your time.
