I could hardly have anticipated the way so many of you have become fascinated with how I learned English by reading the labels on discarded cans, bottles, bags, and boxes while I consumed what was left inside. Some of the first words I learned are still etched in my brain: "natural and artificial flavors" "pyridoxine hydrochloride" "mono- and diglycerides" "BHT added to the packaging material to preserve freshness" "monounsaturated fat" and one of my most favorites, "mixed tocopherols added as an antioxidant" I have no idea what it all means, but doesn't it sound impressive?
