The history of mass marketing is actually a fantastic study. Group think is predictable. People often buy products based on the label and don't really stop to think about why they are paying money, sometimes extra money, for products they believe are in some way superior to other like things on shelf next to those they are willing to drop out an extra few dollars on. "Fat free" is another great example. Companies have begun to label things FF that have always been such. But all of a sudden it is a grand marketing tool that the mass consumers have absorbed in their attempt to eat FF or Organic or Green. The whole thing is a grand marketing scheme in MHO.
