It goes without saying that the nutrition facts contain facts about whats nutritious in what you are eating, however they do little justice in revealing the complete contents of a product. They direct your attention at what to look at when examining a particular element for consume-ability and any time ones attention is directed its possible let alone likely that its being misdirected away from some horrible secret.
The horrible secret is often only a glance away, albeit in the fine print, the ingredients, or that which is suppose to reveal the complete contents being mixed together to create your product. These ingredients however are not even in and of themselves revealing. Many ingredients list elements that are comprised of other inputs but since it stands as a product they simply list the product. Meanwhile any number of things could have gone into that product, be it pesticide sprays, growth hormones, animals that were fed genetically modified corn, and any number of pertinent facts about the ultimate constituents of the container, down to the single stray molecule that ends up in one in 10,000 should be available on every container. You shouldn’t be able to list “milk” as an ingredient without including all of the ingredients that went into the making of that cow, if the cow is made merely from corn and drugs, then what type of corn, and how was that corn raised, what was it sprayed with, how was it cleaned down to every soapy molecule that gets left behind.
There should be no limit to the amount of detailed information available about every level and step in the process that ultimately constitutes something you are choosing toward creating yourself out of by consuming it. That they get away with keeping any details in the dark is evidence enough that the system that is making the rules is influenced by money, which is not something that has a place influencing a system that’s suppose to be designed to protect people from the worst enemy of all, which is a lack of information and limited time to make important decisions (that seem trivial but are not) about incomplete products, most all of which would be banned from the stores in any culture that was concerned about staying healthy on every level maintaining a strong sense of individuality and purpose to overcome the unjust tyranny that money and bottom lines bring us when we not only could have more, but deserve more, and could make more out of our lives by not being so easily lead, by which I mean mislead into believing that there are external systems of information where people pay to bring you that information that one can in all of eternity trust at face value, is in effect no.
What we need are consumers with killer instincts, and the capacity to destroy products not on a whim, but with direct willful knowledge about the true nature of their opponents and their products, to spread the information necessary to remove injustice from the systems. They certainly aren’t gong to do it for us, and even if they try, it will never, ever, ever be good enough, because they operate in a world where things that can’t be paid for are impossible, a world that is not reality. People make rash decisions in supermarkets, pez stations, and retail chains that effect their entire fate and the future of the world without even realizing it. From poison leather to pancreatic cancer, what is it exactly that keeps the people from changing the system besides the notion that the system will only rape more if you help it get smarter, and people feel powerless to stop it. I’m for adopting a new system until its done, and then I’m for adopting the next, and resting on success doesn’t seem like an incentive worth living for. Stagnation of detail of labeling is death, and its more than just labeling, its standing up and admitting that we don’t know the long term effects of this stuff, and its been unfair for us to not disclose it up until now.
Seeing them sweat and then do what you deserve is satisfaction enough, how come people need some dollar incentive in order to do something good for the world other than being so trampled down and poor that they aren’t even qualifying as self actualized human beings anymore. They are barely individuals, mere automatons operating on a level that’s been programed into them since they started learning the English language or their mom ate poorly labeled products while pregnant with them. Where are we as a culture when simple awareness of injustice is not enough to create the change that is the boycotting necessary to bring the companies that would rather us blindly buy away to their knees begging for the solution to their problems (even if its decapitation), which are ultimately how to do right by the consumer… except it only takes a few uninformed consumers to keep their machine turning, which keeps any outcry silent, because they have tricked enough of them that the gears will stay slick enough to find a way to once more put up false appearances just to get a sale for a product whose every corner was cut.
Its not good for anyone to remain blissfully unaware of injustice, because this is exactly what they have people trapped into thinking they deserve all the time, even if they are being raped, that its okay so long as they don’t notice it. That we trust any words out of their mouths after all the crap that we have been fed to nourish the wallets of all the criminals out there is the essence of the problem, that we fail to suspend our disbelief about conspiracy on every level. That its all such a great sham that no one wants to spoil it, revealing the nature of things for what they really are is a business best left to artificial intelligence because it seems like people as consumers will never think for themselves and act as a singular fully actualized and aware consumer whose every sane demand must be met in order to operate at all in this reality. The rich keep getting rich and the poor keep robbing each other blind, and what stands for street smarts and common sense are enough to make you sick, but don’t because you are so use to it by now or so completely unsure of the truth that you don’t even spread one word, then that is the first enemy you must face. What word?
