This project allowed me to explore one method of data visualization for nutrition facts. I wanted to be able to visually compare the relationships between nutrition facts of several burgers as well as to the generally accepted Daily Values. The different scale of the blocks creates easily identified relationships between values, and any nutritional value that exceeds the Daily Value is highlighted in red.
There is one major change I would make to this project in the future. The values are all based upon a common unit size of one burger, however, the weight between burgers can vary by several hundred grams. Eating a larger burger obviously means taking in more calories, so I would like to provide a second data page that compares the nutritional facts based upon a common weight so that you can see approximately how healthy the burgers are when compared to each other regardless of size.
