One of my biggest concerns is my son’s health. Since Eddie has been diagnosed with allergic asthma, I can hardly forgive myself for not showing him to the doctor earlier. Nevertheless, as they say, it is better late than never, he’s got the diagnosis, he is currently on treatment and he’ll probably be for the rest of his life.

Another popular saying started to apply in our household: it is better safe than sorry. This being said, shopping for food has become a burden for me, because Eddie is allergic to peanuts, amongst other things, so I have to make sure he doesn’t eat even the slightest trace of peanut. I read so many labels that I now have to change my glasses and get some stronger ones. I think those marketing people and those designers who make the labels never read them, otherwise I can’t believe they’d still make them so tiny.

If any of you, food labels designers, read this, could you, please, write a bit bigger? Thank you.
