Marking Period 4 -Great For You?

Wal-Mart's new food label

Wal-Mart, one of the biggest food-selling corporations in America, have added a new label to make it nice and obvious what foods are "Great for You". Starting this spring, Wal-Mart has slapped the nice, big, green label on many of its in-house brands. They intend to work with other food brands and health groups to make labels First Lady Michelle Obama, supported the effort to help people make healthy choices. Goals announced included cutting back on sodium in packaged foods and eliminating industry produced fats. However, it's too early to tell whether or not the "Great For You" labels really will help consumers or if they'll just be another label among the plethora of labels already out there.
