Visual Thinking: Better Ways to Think about Calorie Data by Woody Bendle

Woody Bendle discusses how Americans are introduced to a considerable amount of new data concerning calorie intake due to a newly implemented ACA requirement that requires restaurant chains with 20 or more locations to display calorie information. However, he explains why the current method of providing calorie data may not be as effective as it could be, as most individuals lack context, meaning, and usefulness when it comes to understanding calorie counts. Thus, Woody introduces a new form of presenting calorie information through visual thinking. By including exercise-time translations next to the calorie count amounts, Woody argues that individuals will have better context for what their food choices mean for their bodies.
