A couple weeks ago I was out with my Dad looking at some home sites in a new neighborhood. We swung by the construction trailer so my Dad could ask some questions.
As I sat there, I noticed a dish of fruit-flavored Tootsie Rolls. I read the ingredient list. And would you believe it? All three flavors—cherry, lemon, and orange—have partially hydrogenated soybean oil as the third ingredient.
Tootsie Rolls are one of the last places I expected to see trans fats. But the more I learn about what's in different foods, the less I'm surprised...

It doesn't surprise me. I see it all around more and more everywhere I look. I was wondering when somebody would just start selling deep fried, sugar-coated fat and then I saw a picture of a Krispy Kream bacon cheeseburger. There you go.

I tend to look at the labels a lot more these days an i just can't get my head around how much sugar is added to things. Even something like peanut butter that i saw the other day had added sugar in it, why you need to put sugar in peanut butter i do not know! Even some of the 'so called' healthy products have got things in that you don't want to be eating a lot of so it really does make sense to read the labels before buying anything really.

Well, we wouldn't be surprised as more and more foods are now becoming less appealing due to their unhealthy ingredients.
