How to Read Food Labels: Your Complete Consumer Guide

The words and images on packaged foods are there for one of two reasons — to sell or to inform. Food manufacturers want to present their products in as positive a light as possible and may sometimes make questionable claims about them.

In this comprehensive guide, you’ll discover how to read food labels like a pro, so you can make the best choices for yourself and your loved ones.

But what is a GMO, where are they found, and how concerned should you be?

Moving toward healthier, plant-based meal plans could benefit our children, and our world, in profoundly important ways.
