One could also see this differently. The medical industry has to deal with the general population. Just like the food industry does. Now for both I do agree with you that I personally want the details, the numbers and make up my own mind. So give me those numbers. I want to know, this side effect happened to 1/100 people and this other one happened to 1/1000000. I want to know that 100g of this food contains 4mg of iron. I don't even want % of RDA as RDA is both a moving target and an assessment/decision someone made based on stuff I might not fit into. I.e. I'm male and not pregnant, my RDA is different from a pregnant woman's RDA. I think it is still very important to have something that is easily understandable by the general population though. I.e. I'm totally for saying "this is rare" and "this is common". Food wise, I think it does make sense to have something like that color system some countries have "This contains a high amount of sugar". As long as you put the actual numbers on there too!
