    I love food scores. I don't eliminate or include anything based on it's score alone, but I really do enjoy them.

    I'm guessing you don't, which I get, but I think they're fun. :)

    Personally, I have no problem with this. It doesn't address over-eating directly, but then, it's not trying to.

    I like food scores, though I'm not into limiting my sodium (low blood pressure), so I'd resent that input. But I know people mostly try to limit it so it makes sense.

    This is good for comparing packaged goods but I feel like the best advice is to shop the perimeter and fix your own food at home, and that most conscientious consumers probably do that or have their own favorite 'tricks'. But maybe not, too.

    Also, I think some of the people who need help like this most are probably in the drive-thrus and pizza parlors. Or have no interest in eating better because they have more pressing concerns (to them, at the moment).

    Did Canada do this?

    I don't like that the scores are based on 'added' whatever. Body can't tell the difference, and to me, the score should reflect that.
