Couldnt agree more. These days the majority of foods i eat have no label, just whole foods like a steak or a zucchini.

However some items do have a food label. My preferred label lists the whole package in addition to the column for a serving. They are allowed rounding. So what appears as zero in the serving column becomes 2-3-4 in the whole package column..

Worth learning the ingredients. I started some 40 years ago when I took a Foods class at university. Found the Addatives book at the library, a big " tomb" of a book. A tomb of bad health imho. Know the addative. And know what 'generally regarded as safe' means. Some ingredients might be ok, others are questionable. And most we never ate 100 years ago.....

Eating real whole foods eliminates the addatives but not the likelihood of herbicides and pesticides and residues.

Start with reading the labels.
