Nutritional labelling annoys me.  The multiple ’statistical’ standards and representative devices, ranging from lists to traffic lights, are designed to obfuscate and confuse.

I wonder if they could be employed to greater effect ? Perhaps to provide more salient or easily understood information to help me think about the impact of food on more than just my own body.

Or as a vehicle for altogether more existential questions ?
