Thanks for this article, Hopeful. I am afraid this is the way labeling is headed. For so long I have been able to tell my clients that they can trust the "back of the box" or the Nutrition Facts label. Now I don't believe that is entirely true either. I've always considered/taught that the front of the box was all about marketing and this new system is just another play on marketing. The Nutrition Facts label remains our best tool but the food industry continually finds/creates loopholes to deceive consumers. It is becoming increasingly difficult to education the general public, especially those with little baseline nutrition knowledge or interest, because one truly needs to examine beyond labeling these days. Bottom line...limit processed foods.
