A new game by Food and Health Communications - show a food package with healthy-sounding claims and then see if the nutrition facts label backs up those claims - the audience has to find the "blunder" i.e. too much salt, fat, calories. The purpose is to help consumers learn to make better buying decisions by using the Nutrition Facts Label. The fun game format will make learning fun and practical using many of today's popular packaged and frozen foods but with the brand name hidden - only the package claims shown. Each question offers points for a right answer - the game is played in teams.
When you need to look your very best now...
Learning objectives & benefits:
This fun game teaches the audience to check the Nutrition Facts. Now you can teach a practical real-world approach right in the classroom or intranet with this game and the modern food examples.
Over 30 foods (brand names obscured) including packaged foods, snacks, canned items, beverages, frozen foods, cereal, yogurt, and more shown with lessons that include:
-
Check the Serving Size - Package looks like one serving but is more than one serving
-
Are You Misled By the Title - Lean, Au Naturale, Organic, Energy
-
Beware of Your Own Assumptions - Turkey and chicken are not always healthy choices and some yogurts are like ice cream
-
Uh Oh - Sort of Healthy Claims Not Backed Up By The Facts - Whole Grain and Reduced Fat Can Pack Calories
-
Too Many Calories - Avoid Dietary Disasters - Look at these food labels for big packages of cookies and frozen dinners
-
Too Much Salt - canned tomatoes, rice-a-roni, frozen dinners
-
Too Much Sugar - soda, cereal, more

Look At Fat/Trans Fat - Trans-fat free can be high in saturated fat!
