Eat by Numbers
Need a simple number, one through 100, to tell you how to eat?

The equation factors in vitamin content, macronutrient composition, nutritional density, and other nutritional properties.
New Nutrition Labels Coming in '08
Truth be told, I can be a little obsessive about reading nutrition labels while shopping. If you're a label reader too, you'll be happy to know that new nutrition labels will be added to products, so you can compare different food choices easily and (hopefully) opt for healthier alternative.
Called the Overall Nutritional Quality Index (ONQI), the new system basically rates food and assigns numbers from 1 to 100.
