Question

Argue in support of food nutrition labeling regulated by the FDA and explain its significance.

Answer 1

Answer: A correct answer will indicate that the FDA is responsible for ensuring that food in the United States is safe, wholesome, and properly labeled. These labels include calories, serving size, percent daily value, total fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins. All values help consumers make better health decisions because they can track caloric intake and fat, as well as the benefits certain foods offer. Consumers can also see what the serving size is and how many servings are in each container, so they can better track what they are putting into their bodies. The answer could also indicate that prior to the existence of the FDA, unregulated medicine shows traveled across the country, with no oversight over products ingredients or quality, or proof of claims on the labels, resulting in great risk of harm to the public.

Explanation:(that is exactly the right answer)

Answer 2

Answer: I got this same question and I was looking for the answers and could not found it but this I what I put. Food nutrition labeling by the FDA is important because it gives customers the ability to view the ingredients listed and find what they are looking for. For example women need more calcium to prevent brittleness in bones.
