As he tells it,&#8221; There are so many products. so many health claims, nutrients, and ingredients. So many promises by manufacturers. Despite the fact that I am a high tech exec with a graduate degree under my belt, I nonetheless  found it difficult to make rational, information-based decisions for a  task as simple as putting groceries into my shopping cart. During my trips to the grocery store I would be asking myself questions such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Do my kids really need to drink juice? <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>How much sugar is too much in a breakfast cereal?<\/em><em> <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>What are nitrates? Should we avoid all food colorings? <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Is just a tiny bit of trans fat OK?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>What about those yogurts especially designed for young children? <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, I decided to do something about it. I began to educate myself by\u00a0 reading books and web articles about food systems,  nutrition, and food preparation. At some point I decided that I need to  share this information with other people, so that they too will be able  to make better choices.That is when\u00a0 Fooducate was born.
