butterflydreamingDo 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?

These kind of decisions should be made consciously and because one is informed, not because "the TV said so". *sigh*
