Welcome to the Read it with a Grain of Salt blog!  I am thrilled that you have decided to join me on my mission to help decode Canadian food labels for consumers from an insider’s perspective, and hope that the information I share will empower you with the knowledge and awareness needed to make more healthful and informed choices.

The book, website and blog are not about preaching what you should or should not eat, and are not about giving you health or nutrition advice, but rather, they are about teaching you how to understand the information and misinformation on prepackaged processed food labels so that you are better equipped to make the decisions that are right for you.

Although I will not be exposing actual product and company names on my website or in my book, I can confirm that the products that I am highlighting can in fact be found at the present time in grocery stores in Canada. 


I hope it will amaze and perhaps even shock you to find out how much you may not know about the foods you have been eating all your life!
