More on nutrition scoring: David Katz responds
My previous post elicited a long and thoughtful comment from Dr. David Katz. His response is well worth reading. Take a look. And thank you David for writing in. Your scoring system is an interesting experiment. Will people routinely choose foods with higher scores? Will food companies change their product formulas in order to qualify for higher scores? Will people be healthier as a result? Will they be less confused about nutrition? I will be interested to follow the progress of your system and see how it works out. Thanks again for writing and happy new year!
