Do you read food labels?

Question

I read the ingredients on my pack of the "NEW & IMPROVED" version of BIG RED Chewing Gum~ It now has ASPARTAME! Why would a gum loaded with sugar even need it? I quit chewing sugarless because I've heard Aspartame causes health problems in some people.

Answer 1

All the time.  Being a vegan I kind of have to.

Answer 2

Yes, I read food labels. It's partly because I want to check what's in them and partly because I feel the need to read just about anything I find with words on it.

Answer 3

Yes, I do, all the time. :)

It's good to check the labels just in case, especially if you're vegan. It seems silly sometimes that a product would unnecessarily have animal products/ other unhealthy stuff in them, I know. >_< Sometimes frustrating.

I'm pretty much obsessed with reading labels, food people give to me, candies (which pretty much have animal by products all the time), and so on.  ._.

Answer 4

I read food labels all the time. Lots of things contain meat or other animal bits that might surprise you.

Answer 5

Yes aspartame is not for me it tastes yucky and I like sugar and dont' want to get the headache associated with aspartame.  

Answer 6

Yes I do read food lables, being vegan.

Unforntely there are a lot of ingreidents out there that causes health problems in people but yet is still approved by the FDA as being 'safe'.

Answer 7

Obsessively.  Check out B-Fresh Gum.  It's vegan, sugar-free, and has xyllitol for a sweetener.  I try my best to avoid aspartame as well, but it's in a heckuva lot of products, isn't it?

Answer 8

I do because I'm vegan, but i didn't when i was a meat eater because as long as it looked good, I'd eat it (not surprisingly, I'm much healthier now)

Answer 9

YES I do I have loads of food allergies.
