    I’m triggered this week. Two misleading food labels in a row.

    All bread is low fat! Other than banana bread.

    Gluten Free potato chips? Really? Guess what. Potatoes are born gluten free.

    In my diabetic classes I was taught to read the regulated nutrition labels.

    Lining up comparable products can be a real eye opener. It turned out that our generic brand of hot dog was lowest in sodium and fat. The gluten free all natural smokies? Ha, not so much.

    Do you think that nutritional label reading should be on the national curriculum?

    You know, I was thinking about this thread this weekend and I might have a different perspective to share.

    I cook and sell candied nuts at fairs and festivals. My product is most likely gluten free. I don't go out of my way to advertise it, but many customers (or potential customers) come and ask me if it is. In my case, since I don't control the supply chain, I can't guarantee that no cross contamination happens, but if I could, it would be beneficial to both my customers and my business if I advertised the fact.
