Who’s responsibility is it??

Question

In regards to food specifically—there are quite a number of foods that are marketed as healthy that aren’t particularly good for you. Milk, diet soda, cereal, sports drinks...to name a few.
Should it be the company’s responsibility to make consumers aware of negatives of their product as well as positives; or is it the consumers responsibility to do their research before buying??

Answer

In this day.... yes. It’s the company who should do everything they can to educate. That way it’s 1000% a consumer’s acceptance to know it isn’t healthy. 
During esthetics school, we had to do X number of services before graduating. Most of this was a spa simulation.
Before a facial you have to ask questions about health (some pressure points causes strokes, miscarriages, etc). Some medication thins out skin. Whatever products they are using can interact badly or you can use it as an opportunity for them to upgrade.....
One woman told me she washes her face with Ajax. 
Yes.... her face..... Ajax. 
This was the HARDEST “poker face” restraint I’ve ever had to do... but I had to know... WHY!!!!!!!?
She said “well it does such a good job scrubbing my tub and getting the junk out, I just had to use it on my face”. 
Now I don’t know if an Ajax container has a warning of “this is not a fucking facial exfoliant you dumb fucks” or not.... but this question immediately made me think of this woman. 
Common sense is not common. Companies need to step up 🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

It’s both really. Even if you researched the products you can’t be 100% sure what’s in it. Even about the traces due to the factory it comes from.

Answer

WAIT GUYS I think I can top the Ajax comment 😂😂😂. Driving by it made me remembered this incident. 
I live near an Adam & eve distribution center. They also take calls with questions and complaints and such. 
We listened to one call during training and this man DEMANDED his money back because the flavored lube “didn’t work”... after some confused questioning by the person answering the call, we found out this dumb motherfucker was DRINKING F L A V O R E D L U B E every day by the tube full 😭😭😭🤮🤮🤮. 
What gets me is Adam and Eve sell stuff to make “your flavor” better.. but I digress. 
I personally think if you’re dumb enough to drink flavored lube every day for a week and get angry and say your wife still complains and says there isn’t a change in taste... neither of you should risk reproducing.. but 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ 
And yeah I’m sure there are instructions on the bottle but what if there wasn’t? 🤮

Answer

Listen, companies are never going to be like ‘lol if you drink coke everyday you’re going to get fat’ because it’s not good for their image. It’s up to the consumer to read the ingredients and warning labels on products.

Answer

I’ll be happy with a sugar daily value %.

Answer

morally, yes a company should do the right thing. however thats not the way the world works. at the end of the day, companies' goal is to make money. it shouldnt fall solely on the consumer. however the way things are, you have to take care of yourself because the world isnt going to do it.

Answer

Consumer. Always educate yourself because there will always be loop holes and things that companies can leave out. They’re in the business of getting you to buy their food, not be your nutritionist.

Answer

at this point I just assume everything has high fructose corn syrup in it and avoid all processed food 
it isnt like companies really keep their ingredients a secret. Its all there on the label. Most people just don't bother to read the labels or do any research.

Answer

I’m not really sure... but don’t companies already have some kind of responsibility to do this? I know Coca Cola was sued over Vitamin Water for being deceptive and allowing people to believe it was healthy to drink—they were forced to make changes to their labels I think. I guess it’s up to the consumer as well to pay attention to what they put in their mouth as well and do research on certain items that are questionable.

Answer

Companies are in it for sales. I do think they promote their products in very misleading ways, like Gatorade isn't necessary if you just ran 1 mile. It's for really high intensity workouts like marathons and the such. But they promote themselves as being better than water for your workout, and that's misleading. It's not telling you what kind of workout. I don't like that, but it is up to us as consumers to educate ourselves on what we are putting into our bodies. I rarely buy packaged or processed food, but when I do I make sure I read the labels and avoid certain ingredients that I don't want to give to my family.
