do people notice food labels?

1. most ignore labels i'm sure, but i certainly scrutinize them!

i have always had migraine triggers that i need to avoid, and now i have a son with a peanut/tree nut allergy. so yeah, i read labels very carefully.

i'm a pescatarian now, so i no longer eat meat, and i find it a bit amusing that the slaughtering location is now on the label. i'm reminded of marisa tomei's wonderful scene from "my cousin vinny", when joe pesci is deciding what clothes to wear for a hunting trip:

"Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a fuck what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?"
