www.mottnpch.org Mothers were more likely than fathers to read nutrition labels when considering food or drink purchases for their kids, according to the latest C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health. However, even moms don’t report they use the “Nutrition Facts” labels that often. Results from the poll showed that only 40 percent of mothers said they read the nutrition labels either “very often” or “always.” Just 35 percent of fathers said they read the labels “very often” or “always.”
