Are they really so recent development (relatively speaking) in the U.S. I find that astonishing, given that cosmetics in the U.S. are required to have ingredients labels (and yet? Not so much in Canada). I honestly don’t remember a time when food labels didn’t exist in Canada, and I’m kinda old, so they’ve definitely been around awhile.

I used to read labels constantly - now, not so much. I should get back in the habit. Great tip for us all to keep in mind. I used to read labels constantly – now, not so much.

The last loaf of 100% whole wheat bread I bought touts no HFCS, which is true enough (and no sugar was used at all that I can see), but then at the end it lists soy flour and says it contains a 'trivial amount.' To me that means that it isn't 100% whole wheat, but maybe I'm quibbling. …and don’t necessarily trust the labels on packaging.
