    That is great! I love the "added sugars" section, as well as the huuuuge calorie notice. Unfortunately, a lot is still dependent on people actually reading the labels and checking the ingredients to determine what's healthy. I wish they would put explanations with the peculiar ingredient names. For example, "maltodextrin" would need to have "sugar" in parentheses or something to clarify what that is.

    I cant decide if I like the true serving sizes. I think its great for things like a bottle of pop but I'd rather know what I should be eating a serving size for other foods
