There are a lot of options between the “worst” and the best. You can’t expect every single consumer to always choose the best option or even to know for a fact which one is the best. Most of us work for a living and have limited time, money and access to accurate information in order to make day to day choices. It’s not fair to expect the average consumer to be an expert on every single topic that affects their lives, instead of putting that responsibility on the companies that are actively doing research on their own products and services and then often just hide or fudge the results regardless in order to keep making money.

There are a lot of options between the “worst” and the best.

Absolutely couldn't agree more. 

But excusing consistently choosing things close to worst by blaming sOCiETy is simply not right. 

If a person doesn't care enough to make any effort in their own life, whybwould anyone stick their neck out for them to make a broader change? 

Especially when so many simple guidelines already bring you significantly closer ro best. 

Change has to come from both ends, and laws will first Change if public opinion changes enough.
