Do you read it... and decide if it is a good choice for you? I always read the label of any food I buy.. I want to know how much sodium... if it has saturated and or transfat.... how much sugar and also how many carbs and protein. I pretty know everything that I eat and what is it it BEFORE I eat it.
Weird? Obsessive? Maybe. But it is just how I roll.

Yes, my dietician's directive for 'mindful eating'.

If it's a new product i'm unfamiliar with - yes I'll check sodium and calories.
Basically I don't buy processed foods - i'm a fresh veggie, lots of seafood and little beef & sausage/fatty cold cuts never.

Definitely YES. The front label is all marketing. The ingredient and nutritional labels are what matters. Reading labels and understanding ingredients has been a big tool for me in eating keto,tracking macros, and understanding how ingredients trigger insulin.

I read them and look specifically at sugar and a few nasty artificial ingredients. We recently found out my daughter has an allergy to Shrimp and Corn. Shrimp is pretty easy to identify without looking at a label. Corn on the other hand is a nightmare. I have to look at where and if Corn Syrup is on a label and all forms of corn Sugars - Dextrose, maltodextrin etc. Even some potato chips have Corn (not oil) as an ingredient. Its those artificial sweetners and corn products that impact her the most.

I read labels, more for the country of origin or place of manufacturing than to learn the ingredients.

@SilleeMee I read 'em all when it is a product new to me or something I will always question! Whole foods, Bob's Red Mill, everything on WalMart when we do a pickup. Yep. I want to know!
