I occasionally read nutrition facts, but not all the time.

i do. people don't often know that a small bag of candy may contain more than one serving in it. that being said, food labels only list the calorie, fat, sugar (etc) content for ONE serving only. you're taking in more of those things by polishing off the whole bag at one time in comparison to portioning it.

Those persons who have dietary restrictions are much more likely to study the nutrition labels of the products they are interested in. Especially sugar (sucrose) or salt restricted diets must use care in food product selection. Another time that it is important is when food allergies prevent certain foods from being safe to consume. Did you hear about the boyfriend who kissed his peanut allergenic girlfriend...and she died.
You are probably very fortunate to be able to purchase foods that you like without much concern...bon appetite!

I try as hard as I can never to buy food that's in a box...when you start reading the ingredients and you realize that none of them are actually found in nature (or look vaguely similar to those ingredients found in weed killer)...it's pretty scary.

I do. I am very concious of the amount of carbs contained in what I purchase. I try to keep my total carb intake around 20-30 a day, so that means I need to read the packages.

Most of the time, I do. I like knowing how much sugar, fat, and sodium are in the packages or boxes. I don't really bother with the vitamins and minerals info since I take Goji juice and my daily vitamins.

I all ways do. If you are interested in your well being I suggest you do. You will be surprised by the amount of sodium (salt) that is in most prepared or pack edged foods.

I like to pretend that it all mattars to me and find myself quite often doing so...however, my appetite will usually take over and I'll end up eating the bad stuff anyways:)

Yes, I do because, I have food allergies. It drives my husband nutty because, I stand there and read everything.
