No not really. Same here. My husband eats all the things I can't; his diet has always been worse than mine was but I have the T2 diabetes!!! .I do sometimes have some raspberries and cream but not often.

I too am hoping others can come up with lots of ideas.

Poor grammar, bullying and drunks.
I'd rather be sick of looking at labels than sick of looking at the space where my toes used to be. Sounds harsh but it is what it is.

My approach is to tell myself that nourishment is a necessary evil due to bad design of the human body. A bit weird, I know :)

Try not eating things that don't have a label on them and you should be fine.....Paleo anybody?! Or carnivore?! It is amazing how simple things get when you don't buy processed, in a package foods......I have switched to Paleo and really liking the freedom of it - not for everyone - but working for me and my gut!! Cheers/L

The good news is that once you get used to eating sensibly (low carb) it will come naturally and reading food labels will be unnecessary
