I just read this article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/27/obama-nutrition-labels_n_4863510.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular

I'm definitely interested in seeing these labels & how they differ from the ones we have now.

    I don't live in the US, but the labels we have here in Canada can be frustrating.

    For example .. if a package is 400 grams (a bit less than a lb), it can have a nutritional label on it that is for 66 grams. Like .. so you have to do in your head .. the package is just over 6 times that much so the calories and everything else is 6 times .. and so on.

    Like why can't they just tell you the nutritional information for what is in the package. I think they should standardize them .. and make them all like for 100g or the contents so that we can compare one product to another or at least know what we are really getting without having to do some math in our heads just trying to figure out what really is going on.
