Self - Host: [at the grocery store] Now, packages of food were sold in the United States. There's a list of nutrients. It's called the nutrition facts. So, if you take a look at a typical box of cereal, like this one, you'll find a list of nutrients and for each nutrient, there's a daily value of how much of that nutrients you nee every day so, like for example right here, here's vitamin A. That tells you how much of the vitamin A you need every day that's in front of the servant of this cereal. And usually, near the nutrition facts would be a list of the ingredients, and the ingredients are listed in order. The more in 1 ingredient, the higher it is on the list. So if you see sugar, 1st or 2nd, well, there's gonna be a lot of sugar and there might be a lot of empty calories or whatever food that is. So the daily value has allowed you to compare you 1 type of food to another type of food and making sure you're getting a lot of nutrients you need every day, your daily value.
