The prompt that gets copied
Here's a photo of the ingredient list from [WHICH PRODUCT, e.g. my kids' favorite cheese crackers]. Go through every ingredient in order and explain in plain words: what each one is, where it comes from and why the maker added it (flavor, color, texture, shelf life and so on). Group them into basic foods, added sugars, additives and added vitamins. Then suggest 3 similar products or easy homemade swaps with a shorter ingredient list. Stick to what's known about each ingredient, don't give medical advice, and remind me to check with a doctor or dietitian about allergies or health conditions.
Snap the ingredient list on a box or bag and get each item explained in plain words, including why it's there, plus simpler swaps if you want fewer additives.
