We went to the Top Four Square to look at the food that we buy and think about the fat, sugar and salt in the food. Mrs Sutton is a nutritionist and she told us that you should look at the 100g column. When you read the label look for
Total fat - less than 10g per 100g
Sugar - less than 15g per 100g
Sodium (that is salt) - less than 400mg per 100g
Dietry fibre - is good for you and you should have more than 6g per 100g
So you should choose foods that are low in total fat, low in sugar and salt.
Did you know that 4g of sugar = 1 teaspoon?
A can of coke has 12 teaspoons, and V has 17.
So read the label before you buy and make the choose the healthy food.
