> Deeply profitable companies will fight tooth and nail against these regulations even if they are full aware of the damage they are causing. There was an article recently about health labels on food in Mexico. The food manufacturers were not allowed to print cute mascots on the packaging for certain foods aimed at children, and had to place a warning label on certain foods. In the first case, the manufacturers switched to transparent packaging, and printed the mascot on the food itself (so that it was clearly visible). In the second case, the manufacturers basically made the front and the back of the packaging the same, but put the mandatory warning only on one side (so store employees would put it on the shelves with the warning on the back). I wish they would pursue ways to make food healthier with the same energy. ETA: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2023/08/hacking-food-... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37245593 |
