Do you know how to read food labels? Maybe you THOUGHT you did. Truth is, you probably don’t. But Jeff Novick, MS, RD — of the McDougall program — does. And in his full talk he shows the 3 easy steps you MUST know if you ever buy foods at any supermarket or “health” food store. In this online excerpt, Novick — who used to be a food service manager at Kraft Foods — exposes one of the dirty secrets major food corporations use to deceive consumers. It’s no accident labels are so confusing! High-protein/low-carb diet proponents claim that the US started eating “low-fat” foods 20 years ago and yet still gained weight, “proving” that the low-fat diet wasn’t effective. But that’s nonsense, as Novick demonstrates in his talk. The foods weren’t/aren’t low-fat at all. Food companies use sleight of hand to make them appear that way. Novick shows how to cut through the nonsense of food labeling to see what you need to see, and understand what you’re really getting. This is an excerpt from Novick’s 80-minute talk at the VegSource 2007 Healthy Lifestyle Expo, and part of a 12-part series of top health expert presentations. In his full fascinating and entertaining presentation, Novick teachers the “three easy rules” for cutting through the bs and quickly understanding food labels, to know exactly what you’re getting. After watching his talk, you’ll never look at packaged food the same! You can get a DVD set featuring all 12 amazing talks from the Expo 2007. CLICK HERE for more info …

Wow, this was boring and pointless. Most low fat diets are based on eating only a certain amount of grams of fat a day, not an a percentage of the calorie base. If you’re so fuckin’ stupid that you can’t figure out what food is good for you, and what food is not, then you deserve to die of a fat slovenly heart attack anyway. Anyone who found this video interesting or informative is a fricking idiot.

Hey watch my video @ gordita2bonita

This video is good to get everybody aware that the labels are lying. But fat isn’t as bad for your heart as people are told. It’s sugar that’s the real problem these days.

@ticks4ticks4 I guess part of the issue is that we are paying a lot of money for just added water, sugar, and salt. Perhaps the key is to make your own vegetable broth at home!

This is a good video – thanks for sharing. I’m going to check the labels better from now on to make an informed choice.

He has a point about the percentage of fat “by weight”—however, if the product is diluted, one simply needs to limit AMOUNT of food consumed (portion control) and pay attention to calories consumed. For instance, in the veggie broth, 2 grams of fat per (the particular serving size), may or may not be substantial–one would have to weight the amount of a “serving size” and see.
Also, one should note the amount of sodium, cholesterol, too. (not to mention a well-balanced diet/life-style).

It’s criminal how the food industry contributes knowingly to the health crisis in this country. Best to eat “Real” food. Food that your grandparents recognized as food.

What is wrong with you?
If you have 1 gram of fat in a glass, and you ad a cup of water to it, you STILL have 1 gram of fat in the glass! The fat doesn’t just disappear because you added water to it.
The fat is diluted and spread around in the water, but it isn’t reduced!
YOU need to go back to 7th grade!

incomprehensibly ignorant. adding water is a legit and smart way to reduce fat. yes, some companies add sugar to enhance the flavor – so open your eyes and compare sugar between the regular and low fat. next time you make a video, genius, try finishing 7th grade first. according to his math, 1 standard serving of broccoli is 10% fat! (50 cals, 5g fat)… which is, by the way, two and a half TIMES as much fat as the oh-so-evil broth which he claims is 67% fat. guess broccoli is bad!

Perhaps every American should be educated yes but it would be accomplished much quicker if the company’s were NOT ALLOWED TO DO THIS.
