Really Read the Ingredients!!!!

This week while at the grocery store I remembered a recipe I recently heard about with Fiber One Original Cereal mixed with peanut butter. I decided to pick up a box and grabbed the store name brand instead (since it was cheaper). Before putting into my cart I did a quick check on the ingredients (which were identical to the name-brand), looked over the nutrition facts and was pretty pleased. I went on my merry way and enjoyed my fiber one cereal the next day. Yesterday while gazing in my pantry something stuck out to me on the cereal label: ASPARTAME. Yes, the chemical that is used in diet coke- the one that has been shown to alter your taste buds and make you crave more food. Needless to say it is really important you REALLY read the ingredients because you are what you eat right?
