Brazil did this years ago. We see in the package “new weight, from X to Y, reduction of N%”. And nothing actually came out of it. Everyone does, we have to buy it, shit stays the same.
You don’t have to buy it though! None of the packaged products in a grocery store are necessities. You could live a very healthy lifestyle eating only the fresh stuff from the store!
it is my contention that you could eat any random items form the perimeter of the store and be healthier than anyone that buys items from the health food aisle.
Food is an ingredient, it shouldn’t have ingredients
But I understand your general point, you should be able to read the list of ingredients and understand what they all are right? Pasta being, flour, eggs, olive oil and salt is a much shorter list than whatever is in a microwave meal
France, doing the right thing
Producers always tout and advertise when they put more into the package, but fail to let us know when they reduce the contents
This is common sense

Is a plate of spaghetti and meatballs not food?
did it come out of a box pre-made?
Being mega pedantic, pasta has ingredients.

pretty much.
it’s an oversimplification that works well enough. don’t get me started on flour though …
(I’m of the opinion that if it didn’t have parents it isn’t food either but that doesn’t need to be a conversation)
What does this mean?
