Jeff Novick's Updated Label Reading Guidelines

Jeff recently posted this to the official McDougall message boards:

My Guidelines For Evaluating The New Nutrition Facts Lab

by JeffN » Sat Jan 23, 2021 4:26 pm

From the FDA

https://www.fda.gov/food/food-labeling-nutrition/changes-nutrition-facts-label

"The updated label appears on the majority of food packages. Manufacturers with $10 million or more in annual sales were required to update their labels by January 1, 2020; manufacturers with less than $10 million in annual food sales were required to update their labels by January 1, 2021. Manufacturers of most single-ingredient sugars, such as honey and maple syrup, and certain cranberry products have until July 1, 2021 to make the changes. The compliance dates are still in place, but the FDA is working cooperatively with manufacturers to meet the new Nutrition Facts label requirements."

This means we should now see the new food label on the majority of products. As such, I have again updated the Label Reading documents. I have also added in a new form of the worksheet, which makes it easer to walk through reading a label.

Label Reading has never been easier!

The PlantStrong Challenge January 2021

 The videos from the recent PlantStrong (formerly known as Engine 2) January Challenge. During the challenge there were daily videos (these) and daily text based chats. IDK if anyone can still sign up to access those, but at least you can all see these short videos.

Climate Change Mastermind Event

 Doctor McDougall mentioned a week or so ago that he's going to have a series of interviews with experts in the field of climate change, to register ASAP if you wanted to watch them live because there was a limit of 500 openings. Well, those slots filled within 45 minutes of the email blast going out, but he promised the replays would be on YouTube the next day. The first of these posted on Sunday and it's FIVE HOURS long! I have no idea if this is 5 hours with one person or many different ones. I haven't had the time to dig into it yet.

Have fun!
