Good luck! There's little to no incentive because the information available to consumers is highly distorted.

Nutrition Facts don't actually reflect the real amount of nutrients in, say, a tomato. For simplicity the manufacturers just look up 'Tomato' in an official government table. This is an obvious case of regulatory failure and/or capture.

Clearly the government must force food manufacturers to pay for frequent, unannounced, randomized, third-party, certified laboratory testing, and report the real levels of nutrients in their products. The current labeling scheme is state-sanctioned fraud on a massive scale.

Where do you live that fresh produce is labeled with nutrition facts? I've got a box of Costco tomatoes and a bag of carrots here, and they are labeled with weights and dates, but nothing about nutrition. The bag of carrots just says, "Ingredients: organic carrots."

Yes, I meant the labeling for food products that contain plant-based ingredients.

>fresh produce [isn't] labeled with nutrition facts

I don't see how that makes it any better. That's just an additional barrier for consumers.

If people [bothered to] look up nutrition info for their produce, they get the exact same distorted misinformation. The system is thoroughly broken and needs reform.
