Don't be Tricked by Food Packaging! {Reading Nutrition Labels for Kids Part 2} HPC:E13

Don't be TRICKED by food packaging trying to tell you something is healthy using sneaky language! This video is meant for kids ages 8-18 and adults who love them. I explain the truth about low fat foods, is "whole grain" healthy, the 2 ingredients banned in our household (and how to find them), and a quick reminder of how sneaky sugar hides in too many places.

You'll see actual ingredients lists and packaging to practice your new skills right away!

If your kids aren't with you right now, that's ok - just click https://kidscookrealfood.com/nutrition-labels/ to get an email so you can always find this (plus part one and the worksheet for that).

Part 1 teaches kids how to understand nutrition labels and ingredients lists, the differences between good and bad fats, why calories don't matter and even a bit on the NEW nutrition label format. Find it here: https://youtu.be/KlN0E1nRpTE

As you watch, there may be a few lists of words you want to save for later - of course you can take a screenshot, but you can also find more info here:
