From Malone News:

Walk through any supermarket today and pick up a loaf of bread. Chances are, the ingredient list contains twenty or thirty items. Yogurt often includes gums, stabilizers, modified starches, emulsifiers, flavor systems, and preservatives. Salad dressing reads like a chemistry experiment. Ice cream may contain ingredients your grandmother never heard of, much less kept in her pantry.
We have become so accustomed to these long ingredient labels that we rarely stop to ask a very simple question. Who decided this was normal?
