> Great idea but there’s a slippery slope problem. Report on shrinkflation packaging and companies will switch to other less transparent means (ie changing ingredients) and so this adds a bit of perverse incentive. What makes you think that they are not changing ingredients as well, at the same time? It’s just another button they can tweak to increase margins. If we follow that kind of logic, then we never put in place any regulation because it would just push people towards worse behaviours. A bit like when people who don’t want taxes say that it would just lead to tax evasion. In reality, there is room for reasonable regulations. > I’m a fan of just mandating price per ounce labels on everything. There is already a law to that effect. > Stores could show current price per ounce and last year’s, no calling out specific brands, just make that data available to consumers on each price tag. That would be definitely interesting. At the moment they just have to put the old price during sales.
