For the past two or three years I have been making an effort to eat more cleanly. I want to cut way back on sugar and as many forms of processed food as possible. I haven't always been successful. (If I were more successful, I would likely be thinner.) Even if I'm not always following the plan, one habit that has stuck is that I am a compulsive label reader.
