Nutrition Chick

This question asked whether people read nutrition labels. While many respondents resided in countries (i.e. U.S.) where labels are required, we need to keep in mind that other countries do not require them. Also, depending on the countries, the available information on the labels are different.

It would be interesting to see which part of the labels people focus on in the next survey…I read total/fat calories, fat content, and the amount of sugar and fiber. How about you?

The unit is in percentages.

So, I was going to write an article about the findings from my survey but alas, the summer is just about to leave us soon and I’m getting a little busier. So, I’ll start posting the charts I made for my talk at Penguicon here.

So, today’s chart is about how often you do moderate exercise for 30 minutes or more/day. I was asked whether sex counts and my answer is yes but only if you work hard at it.

I gave a talk at Penguicon on Geeks and Nutrition this weekend. I’ll be uploading the results from the survey and my comments.

I avoided making any analyses that would make it easy to identify individuals. Also, I included almost all data but when I saw something that seems very very unlikely (i.e. 15 feet 10 lbs), I excluded those data (There were only a few data points I had to exclude though).

Here’s a sneak preview of the top 13 countries of participants. There were 747 participants from 54 countries:
