"truth in packaging."


It takes a little longer to pick out a cereal at the supermarket than it used to. I mean, I have to read about the ingredients, and the nutrients, and how much calcium, and how much of my daily requirement of vitamin C, and vitamin X there is in it, you know. It's all there on the package now. In fact, on everything we buy in the supermarket, it's there because of laws that we call "truth in packaging."
And it's good that they have to tell you what's inside, because of course the package probably would never tell you that - all the bright colors and everything. It's good to know what you're really getting. The clever commercials, the bright packages...they probably would never tell you that. Now, it's too bad there aren't "truth in packaging" laws to clarify some of our bigger choices.
