We're all totally mindfucked - think twice
Well, you might or will say: "Yes, the others are. But not me!"
Perhaps you are not ... we will see.

Pizza with real cheese

WTF ... they are printing on a pizza when there is real cheese on it.
They would not print it if it wasn't special. So we are living in a world where it is special to have real cheese instead of chemical shit that has nothing to do with cheese ?!?
Think twice - how about labeling all pizzas WITHOUT real cheese. When I buy a pizza it should be normal it has cheese on it - real cheese.
There should be no need to highlight it's real cheese. Chemical shit "cheese" should be highlighted - and with highlighted I mean it should be in bold letters all over the package.
Fair Trade

OK, life isn't always fair. But again it's sold to us as something special if a worker gets a fair share of the profit.
Shouldn't it be normal that people working hard get a fair share of the profit made with the products produced with their help and hard work?
This is not special - it should be the other way around.
All products we buy where anybody in the production chain does not get his fair share of the profit should have a label that the product is made with the help of / based on exploitation.
Biological products / food

Same story, perhaps even worse. We should buy products with this label because they are so especially good.
This should be normal! All products that can't have this label should have a big warning label on it.
Why did I say perhaps even worse? Because it's way too easy to get this label.
All natural

Should I repeat myself ?!?
All natural should be normal!
Not natural must be written on the package in big letters!
Regional products

What a fake is this ?!?
I'm not sure about other countries, but in Germany e.g. the product could come from everywhere. As long as it is packed in the near region it can use the label regional product.
This list could go on forever ... perhaps I'll write more about it the next days.
The question is: do you feel mindfucked now?
Buying a "special" product which actually should be normal?
Buying a "normal" product which actually is chemical junk?
Never-mind - keep on steeming!
Certainly you are right, good reflection, for that reason we should be more attentive of the labels before buying anything and so be more clear about what we are consuming. Thanks for sharing this interesting point.
Thanks for sharing your point of view @marynet
Looks like the world is upside-down when it comes to consumption ...
