Do you read the 'traffic lights'?

[Riley Blue]

I seem to have spent a fair bit of time in supermarkets over the Christmas period and because my O/H is diabetic and I've a heart problem, we're fussy about what's in our food - how much salt, sugar, fats etc. We always look at the contents on the food packets, bottles and so on but I was surprised at how few other people were. Most of them didn't give them a glance and I never heard any couples discussing the contents like we do.

Are we unusual? Or do people really not care what's in what they eat? I should add that I enjoy cooking and most of our meals are home-cooked; it's very rare that a 'ready meal' crosses our threshold.
