When I go to the supermarket these days I often see people reading the back labels of the food products they are about to purchase, checking if the ingredients are organic or synthetic. This behavior is also becoming more evident among mothers, like me, who, while doing their weekly grocery shopping, also educate their children about the need to check the product label and spot ingredients that are unsafe to eat. Did our parents scrutinize product labels as we do now? In my days as a youth I usually accompanied my mom to the grocery store, and I have no recollection of her checking product labels and ingredients.
