Food labels displaying the amount of exercise needed to burn off the calories in the product are being touted as a way to reduce obesity, but not everyone is convinced.
Researchers at the Loughborough University in the UK believe labelling select foods with their physical activity calorie equivalent (PACE), which tell people how much walking or running is needed to "work off" food, may reduce obesity.
Amanda Daly, professor of behavioural medicine at Loughborough University, told Nadia Mitsopoulos on ABC Radio Perth the PACE labelling may be easier for people to understand than a nutrition panel.
