Smart Choices?

Apparently these new food labels have been causing much controversy over the last few months. People say that they are misleading and just a good way to market cereals and other foods that are consumed by families, such as macaroni and cheese and kid cuisine.

One thing I noticed about the labels is that they are not comprehensive. For example, the amount (or lack) of protein is not featured on the front of the box, which can be misleading. Also, the company title can also be misleading. It looks as though the Smart Choices Program has a foundation in a trusted company, that is well known for good judgment, while in actuality, it is just a major company that decides to label a certain container.
