Importance
It is important to know what food labels are saying and what everything means because simple things can change someone's health greatly. It is important that the food label is correct and not false information. "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Federal Trade Commission are federal government agencies that help protect consumers from false or misleading health claims on the
internet." (iBook pg.2) Information coming from either of these two groups can be trusted. -

How To Evaluate
When looking at a food label there are many questions that should be asked, especially if the label is online. "The internet also allows
rapid and widespread distribution of false and misleading information." (iBook pg.2) Putting information on the internet is very easy and all facts should be confirmed by another site before being trusted. "You should carefully consider the source of information you
find on the internet and discuss that information with your healthcare provider." (iBook pg.2) -

Personal
When my grandparents had to evaluate the health services of a nursing home a couple years ago. They needed to evaluate the services because they wanted to make sure that they weren't being lied to. Health service at the nursing home is a very big deal for them and they wanted to make sure that everything they were reading was true and not false information. -

Outcome
My grandparents made the right the decision when they chose a nursing home to go to. By looking at the information and making sure, from different places, the information was true, by grandparents were able to make a good decision. My grandparents are happy at the nursing home that they chose to move to.
