WALT: read food labels

This was the graph that our class made about food and nutrition. For it we brought in boxes of cereals (no food inside) and reviewed them all on their nutrition information. To do this you need to find the nutrition information graph on the box. Then on the graph find the "Avg Qty per 100 grams" part on the box. Find the labels on the side of the graph. The ones you need to know are the fat, sugar, sodium (salt or sodium chloride), energy and also dietary fiber. Then look at the 100 grams part across from the label you want too find out about. Then read the numbers across from it. Sugar and fat need to be under 10 grams unless it has nuts or fruit. If it does it needs to be under 25 grams. Sodium needs to be under 400 mg, dietary fiber needs to be over 5 g because it is good for you. Last, energy needs to be under 500 KJ. If you play sports it is OK to have more but if you don't play sports the energy turns to fat. In the end the best foods were light and tasty and also wheatbix from both companies. Some foods like berry berry nice (I had it) were good but foods like coco snaps and rice snaps were not healthy. This is what we did today. It was AWESOME!
