I admit it--sometimes when I go to the grocery store, I attempt to buy foods that are relatively healthier for me than what I really want to buy. That doesn't mean I go all Whole Earth Foods now, as my primary grocery store is Wal*Mart, but I do periodically read labels. Sadly, you may soon need a PhD to do that!
Do you know the difference between "whole grain" and "multigrain", between "cage free" and "free range"? How much trans-fat can be included in foods labeled "trans-fat free"? Read here to find out!
Starting today, there will be labels on all meat products telling where the animals were raised, the nationality of the animal and where they were slaughtered. I admit, when I can afford it, grass fed beef is world's better than grainfed. But with the economy tanking, I am lucky if we get steak once a month.
