Is “food” one of the ingredients?

This is a pretty accurate rendition of many of my shopping experiences. Reading labels has been frustrating for us. Not because of the time it takes, but because of what we discover is actually in the package. In our house “watching what you eat” means reading the ingredient list on everything. Do YOU know what BUTYLATED HYDROXYANISOLE (BHA) is? It is a preservative that slows the process of oils/fats becoming rancid. This is a questionable chemical that can be easily and safely replaced by Vitamin E (at least that is something we can recognize). Vitamin E is an antioxidant found naturally in many fruits, veggies, and grains.
