I think it is practical. In the different communities I've seen, both South Asian and other communities, where they have begun labelling them from the source, it has made the consumer aware of the exact caloric intake. The consumers and the public in general need to be aware that a certain number of calories equals a certain weight. For example, 3,500 calories is roughly equal to about one pound. That is a gauge system. It is an auto-feedback system, and it is a form of behaviour modification. I strongly agree with that.
