I have been asked by fellow DUers to post this here.



This is something that others might find important especially to
to working families that find their wages are not stretching as far with their food shopping. The skimming of food packing is now industry wide and has even worked it's way into storage-brand packaging. I came across this FB page when I wrote a complaint to Florida Naturals who recently dropped their 64-ounce juices to 52 ounces but kept the same packaging and SAME PRICE so that most consumers wouldn't notice the change. It turns out that a lot of consumers noticed and are complaining but we seldom hear about it.

Here is the link so you can see what consumers are saying about these stealth changes.

But in this economic environment of capitalizm on steroids, it's whatever the market will bear. The market i(concumers) .s just ignorant of what is happening to them.
