I try to be. I look at sodium content and for added sugar, especially.
For what its worth, the whole wheat Annie's bunnies are marginally better in terms of nutrition than the cheddar ones or Goldfish. I try to only let her have them if we have to do a long car trip or something, because they still aren't great, but its an improvement.

Extremely. I read every label. You'd be shocked at how many foods have sugar as an ingredient... pasta sauce, cheese...

I read every food label and usually stick to brands I trust or like. I befriended a mom at church who helped cure her son's anger issues and tantrums through diet and exercise so I am a believer that we are what we eat. Right now I am trying to limit artificial food coloring in our (especially DD's) meals, less sodium, and less sugar also.

I do for foods that LO eats. I check sugar content, sodium, fiber and read the ingredients. If added sugar or compounds I can't pronounce are in the infredient list- she doesn't eat it.

DH and I do have a section in the pantry for our guilty pleasures and I make it a point NOT to read those labels

@GrapeCrush: We need a high five emoji!

Yep. We have a vegan household, so we have to be very careful with anything processed. I'm not really as concerned with the nutrition facts, as we eat mostly whole foods (so the occasional high-sodium food isn't going to be too bad), but I really care about ingredients.

I also read everything. I avoid high sodium and try to buy organic and after that try to find the least ingredients. But I don't make myself crazy.

Sometimes I do. Sometimes I dont feel like caring.

I try not to even buy foods that require labels. We try not to do boxed/processed/canned stuff around here. DH and I would like to avoid a lot of the health problems our parents and grandparents have, so even if genetics isn't on our side, our diet is.

I don't buy/eat much food that has a nutritional label, but when I do buy packaged goods that I mean to be healthy I pay very close attention to the nutritional info and ingredients.
However, I've never looked at the label on my Oreos or Doritos. Ignorance is bliss there - but I assume it's not a good scene.

@Sapphiresun: I hadn't heard that before, I actively avoid products with added sugar that I see as unnecessary. I kind of feel like I'm being cheated in some way, crazy I know. When I do indulge I totally get that can’t stop eating, this food is addictive feeling so I guess the study makes sense.

Side note: products with added sugar that annoy me most; Peanut butter, yoghurt, nut milks, bread, tinned tomatoes. I could go on..

I am, but only because I'm looking out for dairy!

I go in spurts, sometimes the convenience of an item outweighs the nutritional value (snacks, some sides, ect.) I really want to work at getting back to a whole food but the go go go of summer is killing me.

We have to read labels due to food allergy!

@blackbird: yeah! I follow their FB page. Waiting for it to hit our Hulu list!
