Question

What is helpful is to provide families with the information they need when they need it. And this is the first point I want to make. The fact is that we can give parents the most comprehensive pamphlets and the most up-to-date websites. But we cannot expect folks to remember everything they've read days or weeks later when they're in that grocery store aisle, or opening that menu, or standing in front of the freezer pondering what to make for dinner. Instead, we need to offer parents clear information at the moment when they're actually deciding what to buy, cook and order for their kids.

Answer 1

When parents have to make a quick grocery run they are most likely are going to grab the breakfast/lunch/dinner that they see have the most basic label and grab it. So it is not right to throw out difficult labels like "eat healthy" and "make better choices" without know exactly what that means. We should provide the individuals buying the food with information that they can use in all situations such as going out to eat, grocery runs, or picking out what they want for dinner. In other words we need to make it more accessable for them to get that information when they need it.
