Designer of U.S. Nutrition Facts label dead at 76

Burkey Belser, the graphic designer who created the nutrition facts label found on almost all foodstuffs and drinks sold in the U.S., is dead at 76.

Belser's minimalist black-and-white design, which outlines the calories and nutrient values of virtually every food sold in grocery stores, is regarded by many as a triumph of both graphic design and public health.
