Students will interpret nutritional information to determine which food options promote balanced eating. The resource includes two contrasting cases: comparing whole grain cereal against a salty snack, and sliced bread against yogurt, encouraging critical thinking about nutritional values. There are sections for evidence and reasoning on why certain choices are healthier. Additionally, students will conduct nutritional investigations of specific food items, researching package details and completing a nutrition facts label template. The resource emphasizes the importance of checking serving sizes in relation to calorie and sugar counts to avoid unintended health consequences.
