Package information

There are moves afoot examining changing the packaging information on Australian foods - so that as well as giving standard nutritional information, packages will also have "exercise" details eg how much exercise do you need to do to burn off the energy a food contains. Another suggestion is to label foods like traffic lights - green, amber and red - so people could be steered away from foods high in fat, salt and sugar. The latter system is currently working well in the UK.
