A Deliberate Consumer

[butterflydreaming]

Do you read product labels? Do you read the ingredients *and* the nutrition facts?

If you see salmon & mackerel listed in your Pocky ingredients, do you find out why?

Have you ever wondered why organic foods are usually made with sea salt, and if this is for any reason other than marketing?

Do you compare price per pound, rather than price per unit? How about total food value?

Did you know that marshmallows, McDonald's milkshakes, and Tillamook sour cream all contain gelatine? It's in the sour cream for texture.

If you have a choice, do you make a choice?

I think it's great that I can say "check your Pocky" to my f'list. (I think it was the Pocky Dark that had the fish, and I'm pretty sure it's fish gelatin in the cracker.)
