10 "healthy" food labels, exposed (CBC Marketplace)

1. From the Marketplace video describe three tricks you learned that food companies use to make their products appear healthier than they really are?
2. Choose a product from your own fridge or cupboard, or from the supermarket that makes health claims that you find questionable.  Include pictures of the package showing all information.
3. Write an analysis raising critical questions about the product.  Be sure to discuss the specific health claims (usually in large colourful print), the Nutrition Facts Box (which gives limited and often hard to interpret information) and most importantly the ingredients list (usually the smallest print and it has to include everything with the major ingredients first) Give as much detail as you can and use the ideas you gathered from the video, the text and the material in this module.
