Raise your hand if you're with me.
Of course, you might not want to admit it.
I know that I am not pleased with myself for falling into this trap over and over again. I am merely human though, as are you and with that comes many flaws.

Food.
It should be simple to choose and consume, however in our current society of convenience you need an interpreter to help decipher what is truthful and what is disguised speak in order to sell you. Sadly the meme pictured here is true: the majority of foods sold at a grocery store are rancid oils, are chemical laden to prolong shelf life and boost flavor, or just plain fabricated.  While you may think the FDA has your back by regulating food labels and companies, you are and will always be the best advocate for yourself. Knowledge is power after all.

Do you know what you should be looking for when reading food labels? When you pick an item off the shelf, naturally your eyes are drawn to the largest words on there which would be the nutrition label. What exactly should you be looking for to determine whether it would be worth purchasing or not?
