Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 1BCTQ
At first glance, labeling appears to be a helpful way for consumers to make informed choices about the products they are buying. But given the lack of consensus on criteria to qualify as “green,” manufacturers have taken advantage of this marketing scheme and slapped “eco-labels” on a variety of products with little, or no, thought given to the environment. If you served on a labeling-regulation committee, what criteria would you propose in determining which, if any, food products and packages could claim to be environmentally friendly? How important is it for consumers to adopt environmentally friendly food behaviors?
