Does Knowing Nutrition Make You Healthy?

With all the new rules coming out requiring food companies to be transparent with the ingredients and nutrition, you'd think we'd have a pretty clear path away from obesity. I mean, if you see that your 80-Oreo snack is actually the equivalent of a three-course meal that a horse would have trouble finishing, you'd probably cut back...right?

Not so says a new study. In fact, it states that Americans, overall, have a better general understanding of the nutrition of their foods, yet choose to eat unhealthily anyways.
A new paradox on our plate?

So I guess it is true. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't take away his Coca-Cola I.V.
