Could The Problem Be We Just Do Not Care What We Eat?

? I just read the findings of a survey done by the USDA, and I was surprised at what I saw. I am
sorry if I have to vent a little in this article, but it disturbed me some. I am trying to see the logic.
The survey was on food labels. To be more specific, on how many people actually still read them or
used them. The survey was for the years 1995 to 2006. This report was a 33 page PDF report that I
found very interesting. It went into the history of the label and how the survey was done and covered a
lot of how to use it and why it is on our foods among other things about the label. It was very
informative.
The results of the survey are what surprised me though. Less people are taking the time to read them
or look at them. What they found was that it decreased for most label components. It declined
approximately 3 percentage points for the Nutrition Facts panel, 11 percentage points for the ingredient
list, and 10 percentage points for the panel's information about calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium.
Only the information about fiber and sugars did not decline over the 10 year period. The use of fiber
information increased by 2 percentage points and for sugar stayed the same.
It went on you break down the study by age and race. They believe the fiber increase was due to the
people over 30. They said the increase in use may be the result of the increasing popularity of
low-carb diets, the interest in identifying whole grain foods, or an aging population
