What if Commenter 1's suggestion made the graphic less effective as a safety guide for consumers? What if Commenter 1's suggestions made the graphic ineffective because consumers felt it was trying to preach to them? What if Commenter 1's suggestion managed to make a graphic that actually annoyed consumers so that they routinely ignored or even flouted its advice? Would Commenter 1 still want those connections made in the graphic?

To Kristy's point, there's certainly a need for deeper thought around the root problem, but this is a nicely accessible tool for the average consumer to quickly navigate their grocery store. One thing we've learned at Foodtree is that on-ramps to deeper insight into food consumption is critical to bring the massess along. We're trying to empower the people who put in the ground work; the Doers. People who have deep insight into food and food safety - how do we give them tools to document and share the things they know about food, food businesses, and food sources? Our mission is to surface that knowledge for wider use by other food lovers (and future food lovers).

Point is, there's a spectrum of insight into food; some are further along and more deliberate about their consumption. They spend time looking for food prepared certain ways, or by certain producers. They care about seasonality or production methods (or both). On the other hand, some are still learning...many are hoping to 'consumer better', but need easy tools to get started. This problem is complex, and always will be. I think this infographic and other tools that make knowledge/insight more accessible or digestible (pun unintended) are on measure a positive step in the right direction.
