Consumers are asking for less or no high fructose corn syrup, lower sodium foods, as well as no trans fats. Better to cook or bake from scratch if one can as nothing tastes right anymore.........even the Entemann's or Friehoffer bakery coffee cakes are horrible now since they took out the trans fats......my husband keeps sneaking them in the shopping cart but they are gooey tasting and just not the way they used to be. Every now and then, I will sample a piece of his.......and spit it out.....as it's like mush in the mouth. Hard to explain.
I realize you cannot bake your own saltine crackers..........so try oysterettes for soup. I bought the same yucky salt free saltine crackers this past winter.........
Know exactly what you all mean....
Also, be aware that "flavor enhansors" or "natural flavor" on label isn't necessarily a good thing.........that's how they sneak in the bad ingredients. I'm still checking out Snappel Ice Tea.......which always said "natural flavoring" and I'm pretty sure it says sugar.........but have heard that it's high fructose corn syrup. Easier to make your own plain iced tea and let everyone put their own lemon or sugar or NOT into it.
I've also read that people , mostly younger folks, who drink a lot of GREEN TEA, thinking of it as a sort of health food, are suffering strange leg pains. So, even foods perceived as healthy can sometimes have strange side effects..........
