While I think this is a step in the right direction, I don’t think it’s fair to put this on the grocers that didn’t do anything wrong. This should be a labeling requirement for the manufacturer that’s doing it. So instead of the one doing the harm having to take the brunt of the cost for doing it in the first place, instead the grocer has to take the time and money to do it and also keep up with any new changes. Again, step in the right direction. Never let perfect be the enemy of good.

France, doing the right thing

Producers always tout and advertise when they put more into the package, but fail to let us know when they reduce the contents

This is common sense

We recently had a local candy brand advertise that the packaging has gotten smaller, but still contained the same amount. So I guess that they over time had removed enough pieces, that the box started to look suspiciously empty, and they then shrank the box to make it look fuller

Brazil did this years ago. We see in the package “new weight, from X to Y, reduction of N%”. And nothing actually came out of it. Everyone does, we have to buy it, shit stays the same.

You don’t have to buy it though! None of the packaged products in a grocery store are necessities. You could live a very healthy lifestyle eating only the fresh stuff from the store!

metaStatic ,

it is my contention that you could eat any random items form the perimeter of the store and be healthier than anyone that buys items from the health food aisle.

Food is an ingredient, it shouldn't have ingredients

Is a plate of spaghetti and meatballs not food?

metaStatic ,

did it come out of a box pre-made?

HauntedCupcake ,

Being mega pedantic, pasta has ingredients.

But I understand your general point, you should be able to read the list of ingredients and understand what they all are right? Pasta being, flour, eggs, olive oil and salt is a much shorter list than whatever is in a microwave meal

metaStatic ,

pretty much.

it's an oversimplification that works well enough. don't get me started on flour though ...

(I'm of the opinion that if it didn't have parents it isn't food either but that doesn't need to be a conversation)

What does this mean?

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but most of the plants that people eat reproduce sexually and have parents too.

I hope you know how horrifically bad this is for you.

Akrenion ,

Once you start googling some ingredients it is very easy to see what things are for. People are surprised when you tell them chicken flavour is vegan. I still don’t think that is a bad thing.

Just cramming in 5 types of sugar and the daily recommended dosis of salt. That is what frustrates me. Maybe a list of purposes would help.
