   Before beginning this exercise it would be helpful if each person in the class were to bring along as many different labels of the various things each of them usually has for their various meals, drinks and snacks.
   Not only would this facilitate the exercise but it would also contribute to discussion, observation, decision making, comparisons, reaching conclusions and making sensible choices.

   Can you find any harmful things you may have had for
   breakfast ?

   Are there any harmful things you may have had ?
3. Do the same again for your dinner meal.
4. What about the snacks and drinks between these meals ? Have a
   look at those labels. Are there any harmful things on those
   labels ?
5. Now do a "My Harmful Count for Today ". Just count the number
   of harmful ingredients in everything you have in a day
6. Calcium ,fluoride, potassium and iron are just four very helpful things you may find on the ingredient lists of foods and drinks..
   See if you can find those words on any of the ingredient lists of
   the labels you have looked at.
7. Now look at the ingredient list on different toothpaste packages.
   Then have a look at the list of helpful things the label states they will do.
   Can you see any that are on the Helpful list on Page 10 ?
