I'll throw this idea out there. I've been thinking about the usability of nutritional food labeling and thinking there has got to be a better, more intuitive way to present this. Ideas from talented interaction designers could really make a difference here.
A graphical presentation such as bars representing the percentage of daily values rather than numbers might allow people to more easily see what they are actually ingesting. Also, taking some of the information from Harvard's food research ( http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/index.html) and breaking the nutritional data into more useful categories might make sense.
