The BLS statistics are pretty much like the food labels: They'll slap a huge "0% fat" sticker on the front of the package to appease the public conscience. But you need to carefully read the fine-print on the back to find out what's that you're consuming.

But you need to carefully read the fine-print on the back to find out what's that you're consuming. ...as opposed to what? being "honest" by slapping a "contains scary sounding chemicals" sticker on the front of the package? how can a manufacturer possibly know what people would hate, considering that people can hate literally any ingredient?
- m000 6y ago> being "honest" by slapping a "contains scary sounding chemicals" sticker You don't even have to go to "scary chemicals" and conspiracy theories. Have you ever checked how many "0% fat" foods are heavy on refined carbs, and vice-versa? > how can a manufacturer possibly know what people would hate, considering that people can hate literally any ingredient? Have you ever heard about market research? The promoted cherry-picked facts are not there because people are unpredictable and the manufacturers are clueless, but because people are predictable and the manufacturers have researched their behaviour.
