All of the food products we buy include a calorie count. Even restaurants now include that same calorie count on the menu. Do those disclosures influence your choices?
What if those disclosures also included a visual of how much exercise would be needed to burn those calories? For example, the snack bag of potato chips would include a drawing of someone on a bicycle for 55 minutes. Or that ice cream sundae with hot fudge might show 180 minutes on an elliptical machine.
I didn’t create this idea. I saw a news article recently that this type of labeling is actually being considered.
Would this type of disclosure influence your choices more than the calorie count? I see fewer ice cream sundaes in my future.
