Is the writing on cooking instructions on these supermarket meals getting smaller?

Most of my peeps have microwave meals and reading the damn instructions is becoming an impossibility.

I now have reading glasses for my books, but I have taken to carrying around a damn great magnifying glass to read some of the writing on the food packaging.

Oh dear, it is an age thing isn't it?

Yes the writing is tiny these days. I think they have to put so much other information on the packaging they haven't got the room to put anything else. I still have to peer at it even with my reading glasses.


But you should have your eyes tested every two years anyway...
