    I’m skeptical the market is ever going to have principles, for every person that has gotten burned and become personally aware of shady practices, there are many more that aren’t aware and don’t have the incentive or ability to do research to find out. Seems like the sort of thing where the system is rigged in favor of scammers if consumer choice is the only regulation.

      Oh no, it’s worse than that. I’ve explained several times to several people the terrible business practices that nestle use.

      I’ve named off some of the bigger products they make.

      90% of people I’ve explained this to gave zero shits. The other 10% feigned interest but didn’t change their behavior.

      So, the people I’ve explained it to can’t feign ignorance. It’s apathy.
