Do you consider the ingredients in the products you eat?

I always read the list of ingredients on the packages of products that I eat. If I was eating it anyway I still do even after reading the list, but sometimes it decides if I eat it again in the future. An example is if I drink orange juice and there's a whole list of ingredients where as the only brand of orange juice I drink now has only one ingredient: oranges. Isn't that what orange juice is supposed to be? I just think that everything you eat is putting something into your body. I doubt the natural human body was designed to intake all these ingredients that are mass produced by machines and factories. Also some ingredients are in your food just to make it look better, taste a certain way, last longer on the shelf, etc. But you're still putting all of that stuff into your system. I'm guilty too though, some things just do taste good. But I do think it's a good idea that I'm conscious of what I put into my body. Another interesting thing is that the list of ingredients always goes in order of most to least of what's in the product. So going back to the orange juice thing, water would be first because it's mostly water. But it's funny how sugar and a few other things will come before anything that resembles an orange on the list. Do you ever read the ingredients? Do you think it matters?
