In that case, I move on. I never feel better about a product I know nothing about. Oh, and I don't eat hot dogs.

Almost everything you put in your mouth gives you cancer these days. I guess it's alright if you calculate the fact that if you want to grow all your fruits/vegetables and take care of some farm animals for all your nutritious need it's going to cost you about the same amout of time that is currently deducted from your life spawn by eating all the poison they put in the stuff you eat. Bon appetit! =D It’s not like it’s going to make a big difference if you know what you eat or not. Almost everything you put in your mouth gives you cancer these days.

The last thing we need on product packaging is less information. There's never enough information. Try shopping for digital frames, for instance... you'll have no idea what you're getting by looking at the box. This is an awful study.

People are blissfully ignoring it so they can still enjoy their (possibly mad) steak. Mmmmm... prions. Case in point: the recent beef recall.

When I spend money for something I want to know what I'm getting. But I guess it makes sense that when you spend the $$ you want to be happy. Word up to all the cheap asses out there!

I guess it depends on who your market is. If it's a big purchses, I do a lot of research, which includes looking at ads and box labels. If the company does a crappy job explaining their product features, I'll probably buy from their competitor(s).
