[quote=Anonymous]If you try making something on your own and can do it easily and like it, then you  start paying attention to labels, you quickly realize that there are at least a few things you can make at home that eliminate a ton of unneeded stuff from your body.

Salad dressing is an easy one. We like olive oil, lemon juice, a turn of sea salt and fresh thyme from the garden. Takes 2 minutes idea-to-pour.

Compare this to Kraft Zesty Italian:

Vinegar, Water, Blend of Vegetable Oils (Soybean Oil, Canola Oil), Sugar, Salt, Garlic*, Contains Less than 2% of Red Bell Peppers*, Onions*, Xanthan Gum, Spice, Oleoresin Paprika (Color), Potassium Sorbate, and Calcium Disodium EDTA (to Protect Flavor). *Dried.

Compared to even the very good Newman's Own:

Olive Oil Blend (Olive Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil), Vegetable Oil (Soybean Oil And/Or Canola Oil), Water, Red Wine Vinegar, Onion, Spicy Brown Mustard (Distilled Vinegar, Water, Mustard Seed, Salt, Turmeric, Spices, Natural Flavoring), Distilled Vinegar, Less Than 2% Of: Salt, Garlic, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Black Pepper, Celery Seed.

There is nothing wrong with that one IMO, but I prefer to control my oil choice (I get mine from a vineyard), and I have no idea what the "natural flavoring" is and am happy to do without it.[/quote]
