I _so_ disagree with this statement. Anyone with any interest in their health reads the labels on the food they eat. In truth, anyone with a dedicated interest in their health doesn't need to read the labels, because they don't eat pre-packaged food!
But like most folks, I'm imperfect so I do partake, and you'd better believe that I read the label before I buy/consume it.
Go to the grocery store on a Saturday, especially. Just hang around and look at what people, especially women (who constitute the majority of the US population- and I'm guessing the majority of grocery shoppers) are doing before they purchase their food. Lots of them read the labels first.
The labeling of the nutritional content of foods has made us better informed consumers- as a whole - not just *certain interest groups.*
