Answer to Question 1

Daily Value is the amount of fat, sodium, fiber, and other nutrients health experts say should make up a healthful diet. The  Daily Values that appear on food labels tell you the percentage of a nutrient that a serving of the food contributes to a healthful diet.

Answer to Question 2

Chinese food served in American Chinese restaurants is a far cry from the type eaten daily by rural Chinese people. Many Chinese restaurant meals are swimming in oil and contain much more meat and poultry and fewer vegetables than real Chinese food. Consider that a typical American Chinese meal might include wonton soup, barbecued spareribs, chicken lo mein, and fried ricechalking up some 1,400 calories and more than 80 grams of fat. A typical meal eaten in rural China, in contrast, would likely contain a heaping portion of rice, along with fiber- and nutrient-rich vegetables and less than an ounce of meat or fish, and would thereby contain only a fraction of the fat.
