Students should be able to answer the following four questions:

Question 1: Daily Values: what are the daily value percentages of the aforementioned nutrients and components?

Question 2: Nutrition Facts: what is the relevant nutritional information displayed on the label, such that consumers are able to make well-informed decisions?

Question 3: Design Choice: what are the differences between your and the FDA's food labels?

Question 4: Evaluation: is your food label more or less effective than FDA's, and how so?
