Food labels are a waste of time because people don't care and if they do then they already use the labels on there to care.

That's the same logic I used as a kid. "Why bother telling people about something better? Those who don't care about it won't use it, and whose who do, will".

It's the kind of deterministic logic that pushes away progress and education. "If they want to learn, they'll learn". Yes, well... Some people are just unaware of the same benefits you have in your head when you cite whatever it is you cite. Maybe they grew up in an environment that demotes creative thinking or education as a whole.

Unless it is your job to care about this, you don't have to... but then, if it isn't and you do, how is your opinion relevant? You don't have the knowledge of the person possessing the skills to make these decisions for a living; why should we listen to you?

At least food labelling is a step towards healthier eating. Not bothering is not.

Memory is terrible. That's why it's awesome. I can re-write everything at will. Revisionist biography. Excellent.

Never seen someone so excited about the prospect of lying to themselves.
