Labels

By reading the article "Where did that food come from? Your guess is as good as the Label" by Andrew Schneider, it taught me that citizens of the world can buy into the gullible market of believing industries that tell their customers where their product is made just to improve their market profit. This article opened up my eyes because beforehand I never carried or worried about where my food came from but this article made me want to pay attention to the labels.
Consumers in today’s society believe the companies by not even second-guessing the facts on the labels because the consumer believes that the company would not lie about their product but unfortunately they do because they want to make more money. In the end it is all about the money for these companies and so they think that by changing the truth a little bit they are able to make money. This article was very informative and I encourage one to read it if they have time for themselves. This article taught me to look at the labels more often and to question and challenge the label’s facts.
