Food packaging is living proof that some of the most wonderful, life-enhancing, freedom-increasing innovations happen in some of the most mundane-seeming areas. And people who don't appreciate the crucial role that food packaging plays in our lives are unlikely to spend much time critically evaluating the regulations the food packaging industry lives under, or feel outrage when such regulations go overboard. Many people have strong feeling in general about the FDA; some folks excoriate the FDA for allowing people to take drugs that can kill them, while others bash the FDA for not allowing people to take drugs that might save them. Most of these people are silent when it comes to FDA regulation of food packaging. Who ever got excited over a Coke bottle?

Look for consumer blowback and the FDA to continue seeking out what they consider "false advertising " on product packaging. Happy Packaging!

As a result, I do not feel I was mislead by the Smart Choices logo. But I have no doubt that many people were. For business owners, it is so important to pay attention to these issues to contribute to an overall trustworthy business environment. Because of the transparency present in business today, these kinds of misleading programs will all fall on their faces eventually. Consumers refuse to be led by the nose. They have more of a voice than ever and the power that was once concentrated in a few large companies is now diffused across the masses. This is the great thing about technology and how it has helped to level the playing field for everyone! I'm excited to see the federal government hold large companies accountable. I'm also excited for what it means in terms of smaller companies being able to get their piece of the pie! Great post! I am a skeptical consumer.
