Answer to Question 1

The student should recognize the label information as being of value to the consumer. The percentage of Daily Values of each nutritional item is listed per serving. Maximum and minimal amounts of nutrients are also noted. Students should recognize the elevated sodium levels in processed foods, as well as the total carbohydrates and sugar content, which tend to be elevated in different types of foods. In the effort to make the consumer more aware of diet as a factor in good health, health claims that link nutrients to health conditions are on the label. Comparing manufacturers' data will make students more aware of the contents of some of the cheaper brands.

Answer to Question 2

A
