Conclusion

good fact: A study with adolescents using different ways to display or provide nutritional information was conducted and a key factor found was once a consumer was able to use nutritional information. The study showed with the provision of nutritional menus resulted in 29 percent of adolescents modifying at least one of their food orders, and 46 percent of modifications resulted in lower-calorie orders (Larson and Story, 4). This proves a current gap between information and how it is used needs to be bridged in order to help consumers make healthier choices. By bridging this gap it can overcome the obesity problem and promote education consumers.
