I’m a pretty good label reader and I still get caught at times so it is hard when you’re just beginning down this path to understanding that labelling can be very clever and completely untrue! I also get annoyed when I go to a health food/organic shop in a hurry and don’t read labels and then get home and see what’s in it. You should never assume that even the organic shops will select products that are only organic, additive free products.
Great points! Yes, there's always more to learn and such a huge gap in consumer education. It's hard when a shop is focused on organic because many folks don't realize industrial seed oils can be in organic foods, and organic meats can also be raised inhumanely--making it even more complicated. Would be great if there the regulations behind the labels came with required continued public education.
My husband and I are so thankful for all of your insights! Please keep them coming!
That's so great to hear. Thank you. :)
