We delve into how nutrition labels evolved from primarily addressing food safety and illness prevention to focusing on health and calorie content, we examine how calorie information has expanded from packaged foods to being included in restaurant menus, and we discuss whether or not this constant focus on nutritional information is helpful...or actually harmful.
